Ilias: Isn't this an animal you're eating?
Mace: [shrugs] I didn't kill him.

Fulci's rather tame take on the sword and sorcery genre....
21 July 2005 | by (studio city) – See all my reviews

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.
