"Her hearing seems fine to me, but whatever! Good casting though. . . with her long chin and tiny mouth, she has a permanently p1ssed off expression which is perfect for the role. This has been shot on film and would look fantastic, were it not for the digital effects added later. Every time you see those effects, it takes you out of the film and that entirely destroys the point of movies. Also, maybe I was imagining it but I could've sworn I heard cars driving past in some scenes. Closeups and other shots look good, they are in keeping with the style of the old spaghetti westerns, but then a digital effect goes and ruins it. Oh, and if you want an authentic look of the wild west then you need to travel to the Almería region of Spain. All this grass and stuff, filmed in America. . . America doesn't look like that! All in all, it's okay. B+ for effort, but it's a D in execution."
"A pretty decent indie horror/revenge movie that takes inspiration from a host of 70's Grindhouse flicks. It definitely gets full points for presentation, but otherwise is a little underwhelming."
"A very well motivated slice of DIY filmmaking. The use of film defiantly helps beefing up the visuals. For me though, I cant say that I see myself rewatching this anytime soon. The making of feature was defiantly a highlight for me in terms of extras"
"Love the artwork on this Blu Ray it definitely captures those 1970s exploitation posters. Has a total feel or those great gritty Italian westerns from the late 1960s to the mid 1970s. So happy to have this in my collection. They really love those films and the heart is in the right place. Great extras too!"
"A great homage to low budget euro westerns, euro horror and blaxploitation"
"They Call Her Death is a gritty, low‑budget revenge western that leans heavily into atmosphere and mythic imagery. Centered on Molly Pray—a woman on a relentless crusade against the criminals who destroyed her life—the film blends frontier brutality with a supernatural edge, thanks to the eerie presence of Death itself as her companion. Shot with a stark, dusty visual style, the movie aims for a blend of classic western iconography and modern indie horror sensibilities. Sheri Rippel’s performance gives Molly a flinty resolve, and the film’s commitment to its bleak, frontier mood is one of its strongest assets. While some critics note that the production can feel rough around the edges, the film’s ambition and sincerity give it a distinctive identity. It’s a small, scrappy genre piece—part revenge tale, part mythic fable—that stands out for its mood and its willingness to push into darker, more symbolic territory."
"The film had its highs and lows but an enjoyable watch overall. Really enjoyed the making of and the director’s visit to the VS archives"
"Fun, wild, gory homage to Thriller: A Cruel Picture. It’s super fun, highly recommended."
"I wanted to like this one, but I really didn't. I applaud anyone that sets out to make a film and accomplishes it. I was really excited with the idea, but I think the execution did not live up to expectations."
