The Bloodiest Westerns of All Time, Ranked by MovieWeb

"Although there are many standardized traits and tropes that unify the countless Westerns that have ever been made, the tried-and-true genre is more diverse than many non-aficionados realize.

That said, another way to distinguish one Western from another is the way in which the filmmakers portray said violence. While many Westerns are quite tame and could fall into the category of 'kid-friendly,' the ones collected in the list below are anything but. The following Westerns are defined by their boundary-pushing violence, bloody gunfights, and, in some cases, flirtations with the horror genre. These are the bloodiest Westerns of all time!" - movieweb.com
