Storyline

Long ago in the Iron Age a shadow loomed over a lonely village. For generations the village youths are stolen from their families and delivered as sacrifice to a mythical beast - the Minotaur, that dwells beneath a great palace. Theo, haunted by the loss of his love in an earlier sacrifice is convinced that the beast isn't real and that his girl still lives as a slave within the palace. His father Cyrnan, the village leader, tries to reason with Theo not to go but Theo is driven by blind rage. He devises a plan and is taken with the other youths who are dragged screaming from their families. Written by Mykol Gantt

In many scenes, especially the scene where Tyro and Didi climb up the wall, there is clearly a steel-wire lifting the actors up, when they are supposed to be climbing by themselves. See more »

Solid b-entertainment filled with action.
14 November 2007 | by (Noctropolis) – See all my reviews

Although it premiered on theaters here in México, I waited for it to land on Blockbuster. I expected a solid B-flick and I ended up having more than desired.

"Minotaur" isn't by any means a memorable action movie with mythological elements but it's an interesting flick with a solid plot and decent f/x.

I didn't care much for the atmosphere or technical aspects of the movie because the plot was really interesting and fast paced.

Please give this movie a try if you enjoy mythological related movies with monsters, princesses, and solid action sequences.

Recommended for b-movie lovers.
