synopsis
The dialogue in this "sword and sorcery" film argues for a return to the silent screen as Ator, son of Thorn, fights off giant spiders and the evil Black Knights and chases after a comely, blond maiden, but not at the same time. Scripted lines like "not to go the maternity route" in a medieval setting are comparable to whiskering up the Mona Lisa and not noticing the difference.
