In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Vengeance Valley (1951)
A western directed by Richard Thorpe, starring Burt Lancaster.
A cattle herder causes multiple types of trouble for people he knows when he overdraws a bank account, gives the money to a woman who will not identify the father of her child, starts a fight between the woman's brothers and his brother and then tries to sell his boss' cattle behind his back.
The plot was complex and the characters were hard to keep track of. The style was definitely unclear and the production value was bad. Since I can't say anything nice about this film, I'm rating it bad.
