Review of Cry Blood Apache

This is a movie with a plot that really delivers. You definitely won’t be disappointed. The plot revolves around an Apache brave who is determined to extract revenge on a gang of killers who brutalize his entire family by tracking them down and wiping out every one. With each revenge killing he manages to utilize a new and inventive approach.

The backdrop of this film is nothing short of breathtaking, with most of the on location shooting done in the Sequoia National Forest in California as well as other scenes in Arizona. Unlike many Westerns, this film was shot completely outdoors. The cinematography is so spectacular you can practically feel the cold wind as it blows throughout the film and the dust that seems to linger.

The hero of the film is portrayed by Jody McCrea, who also produced the film. McCreas character forms the fifth member of the gang who, instead of joining in with the rest as they extract brutality on the Indian family, develops some sympathy for the one female hostage the gang allows to live.

Western screen legend, Joel McCrea (father of the lead actor and producer) also makes a small appearance in the film.

This is definitely a great Western, you won’t want to miss. Not only are the characters interesting but their parts are well portrayed.
