Here's a movie that is sure to put you in a bad moood and lead you to snap at someone for no reason and feel bad about it at least that's the effect it had on me.   The dark print opens with an amazingly tacky theme song and proceeds to a medieval dungeon where there is a badly directed scene of a royal coup by a satanic wizard guy against a prince.   Sounds promising right?    





                                          We're cruising along with an enjoyably lousy horror movie .  All of the sudden something starts happening:  a couple of bad jokes here and there, then a few more, then a few more, then ALOT more.  Oh no. Oh no no no no.  Before you know it the variety show level humor and camp KILL the horror movie!!  it becomes a wanna be "Rocky Horror" or something without the songs.  From that point on it's excrutiating.  All in all it's about 1/5 horror movie,  3/5 gag fest, and 1/5 confusion.  avoid like the plague.  I can only hope this was some sort of tax shelter and not a serious attempt at an artistic statement.  one or two funny things.   :bluesad:

I picked up this one on VHS at some junk store in NH one year.  It had the plastic case and everything.  I think the film had a decent premise with the role playing gone bad idea, but gets too artsy fartsy.  The theme song leaves a lot to be desired too but gets stuck in my head whenever I dare watch this one.

I still haven't seen it, though I'd like to. Nevertheless, MAN, I gotta say... that DVD cover (is that what that second one is? a DVD?)... is butt freaking ugly! Daaaaang.
