Apatros Review Ep-0017: Wizards of the Demon Sword [1991]

AR-0017: Infamous jack-of-all-genres schlock director Fred Olen Ray was a bit late to the 1980s fantasy genre party when he made this rather low-rent flick in 1991, because the genre had died out by then. But thanks to a last-minute casting choice giving a performance so funny on the first day of shooting, Olen Ray decided to turn what could have been an atrociously tacky low budget barbarian flick you were supposed to take seriously... into an atrociously tacky low budget barbarian flick you were NOT supposed to take seriously. So basically a parody of the genre. This is the only effective way for the Bad Movie Masochists among us to digest this particular piece of smelly cheese, as the poor script & hilariously simplistic dialogue work better as a comedy than played straight.

That being said, it is still pretty bad.

My Grade: D [Bad]
