Massacre Time (aka Tempo di massacro and The Brute and the Beast) is a 1966 Spaghetti Western feature film starring Franco Nero. It is noteworthy as one of a very few westerns directed by horror icon Lucio Fulci.
The film was released on the heels of Nero's hit Django; for this reason it was marketed in some areas as a Django film.
Nero portarys Tom Corbett, a prospector called back to his hometown by a family friend. Upon his arrival in the town, Tom finds it under the control of a powerful, corrupt family. With the help of his brother, Tom sets out to challenge the family and free the town from their rule.
