**_Offbeat Western set in rural southeast Australia_** I’ve seen a few Australian Westerns, like “Quigley Down Under” and “The Proposition,” but I’ve never heard of this one, the curiously titled “Inn of the Damned,” which sounds more like a Hammer horror flick. It combines the typical bounty hunter chasing an outlaw angle with elements of “Terror at Red Wolf Inn” from a couple years earlier. There’s also some influence from “McCabe & Mrs. Miller” and Charlton Heston’s underrated “The Call of the Wild,” like the women in the hot tub. The thick accents in the opening turned me off because it was difficult to discern what the characters were saying, but I eventually warmed up to the main story involving an American bounty hunter and his sidekick (played by Alex Cord and Tony Bonner). There’s a notable sequence involving the scenic Ebor Falls. The second half goes into new territory for a Western and I found it interesting with convincing acting, such as Judith Anderson playing creepy Mrs. Straulle. It runs 1h 58m and was shot Nov-Jan 1973- 1974 in Mangrove Mountain area of southeast Australia, which is located just over an hour’s drive due north of Sydney; as well as Ebor falls, which is five hours’ drive north of there. GRADE: B-

Interesting enough

At an isolated inn, the elderly owners, Caroline and Lazar Straulle, are killing off anyone who stays with them. Meanwhile, in the same area, a murderer is on the run from the law. At the vanguard of his pursuers is a bounty hunter, Kincaid, a highly resourceful man. It is inevitable that he and the Straulles will cross paths.

Better than expected, though still not great. On the surface this seems like a common-or-garden horror movie. However, it turns out it is better than that, being a crime-drama and an okay one at that.

Yes, the production values are quite low and the plot a bit haphazard but it is interesting enough. Performances are solid, which is the biggest surprise.

Not great though. As mentioned, the plot lacks solidity. Moreover, it is quite padded: the early and middle sections seem to go around in circles and there are several scenes and sub-plots that could easily be left out.

It does end in very thrilling fashion though, making up for the tedium of some of the earlier scenes.
