Lucio Fulci's take on the sword and sorcerer genre that was so popular in the early eighties. An obvious amalgam of Quest for Fire and Conan, with a little Beastmaster thrown in for good measure, I didn't find the plot incoherent so much as just paper thin which in a Fulci film is to be expected. An evil cannibal sorceress has visions of her death resulting from a young warrior. She sends her various minions after him which is inter-cut with the young warrior and an older Conan-like sidekick making their way towards her. Nothing special there, it's been told countless times. When you pop in a Fulci film, one doesn't expect a plot but does expect a nice amount of blood-soaked mayhem. Does this film deliver? Only moderately. I thought I was in for a treat for the first fifteen minutes. Skulls were being cracked open, a woman torn into two by wolf-creatures but after that the film considerably tames down with only the requisite amount of blood. There are some sequences which show some of that low-budget special effects ingenuity that I loved in Fulci's Zombie and The Beyond, some intriguing creatures pop up throughout and the film remains watchable for fans, but I can see how people could proclaim this a bore-fest. Ultimately viewed best late at night well on your way to being drunk or a middle billing in a Lucio Fulci marathon that comes after Zombie and House by the Cemetery and before The Beyond.
