This film is apparently Roger Corman's attempt at epic fantasy...unfortunately for him and us, epic fantasy is very hard to accomplish with a minuscule budget although you have to applaud Corman et al for having the gumption to attempt it nonetheless. The film itself never rises above being a fairly predictable programmer and greatly suffers from poor and unconvincing effects, costuming and acting. All in all a weak effort from Corman, who really did manage to rise some low budget films above the norm in terms of quality and subject matter in this era. Despite all of this, I have to admit to having a soft spot for the film because I enjoy seeing all the cast regulars from other Corman films on hand here particularly Jonathan Haze, Betsy Jones-Moreland, Susan Cabot and Richard Devon who do at least try to work with what they were given here. Of course it's not enough to save this movie.
