Victoria Maurette plays Clementine Templeton, a young woman trailing the man who left her pregnant and alone in this combination Western/horror film.
Her journey in search of Blake Sentenza (Javier De la Vega) takes her to Amnesty.
There she finds a group of women also in search of Blake. Seems he also impregnated Michelle Black, daughter of the group’s leader, Mary Black (Janet Barr).
But Amnesty’s not your normal Western ghost town, because it’s occupied by a real ghost named Mobius Lockhardt (Andres Bagg).
Years earlier, he was involved with a whore named Mary Black. When the preacher broke off the relationship, Mary went insane.
She and her followers began killing everyone in town, including the preacher’s pregnant wife. The preacher was killed, too.
As he was dying, he made a deal with the devil, trading his soul for an opportunity to wreak vengeance on the whores who destroyed his town.
Gritty and gory and stylish and never lacking for suspense. OK, the gore goes over the top in some cases, between the torture of Blake by the whores and the manner in which the ghost of Mobius slays his victims.
Maurette steals the show as the tough-as-nails Clementine. But De la Vega isn’t bad either as the womanizer who heads off in search of gold so he and Clementine can marry, but winds up bedding the wrong woman in Hell’s Crossroads.

Memorable lines:
Clementine Templeton: “Until you have vengeance, it has you. And it won’t let you go. It won’t let you live. It won’t even let you die.”
Blsake Sentenza: “I am a man. We’re not built for just one woman. That’s the problem.”
Clementine, gun aimed at his crotch: “Yeah? You need me to fix the problem? Huh?”
