      Massacre Time (aka Tempo di massacro, The Brute and the Beast, Colt Concert) is a 1966 Spaghetti Western feature film starring Franco Nero. It is noteworthy as the first of a very few westerns directed by horror icon Lucio Fulci.[1]

      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.[1]
