The tyrant Herod rules the city of Redemption, where he wins the death-match tournament every year. The arrival of Ellen, a mysterious stranger who has entered the competition, changes everything.

The cartoonish style of the director of The Evil Dead collides head-on with Western mythology. Each duel is conceived as a comic book panel: lightning-fast optical zooms, exaggerated low-angle shots, and gaping holes through bodies. The film’s unabashed use of artifice transforms this revenge story into a display of technical virtuosity with devilishly dynamic editing.
