A great movie for Fantasy Freaks (or anyone who would like to
live in a 'simpler' age. This movie is great. The plot is reasonable
and the characterizations are realistic (I think - anyway). The
film depicts a society where Camelot is the rule rather than the ideal.
But all is not well in Camelot. I won't spoil it for those of you who
will go out and rent the video cassette, but the movie has an appeal
for those who want to escape, but also shows the dangers thereof.
The reason I submitted this is that Stephan King does a 'bit'
part in this movie - see if you can find him. Also one of the main
characters - Morgan - is Tom Savini. Tom Savini is the man behind the
special effects and makeup in 'Deathdream", "Deranged", "Martin",
"Dawn of the Dead", "Friday the Thirteenth, Part 1", "The Burning",
"Creepshow" and others.
He has a fantastic book "Bizarro" which depicts how he did
the special effects for these movies and more. For me, at least,
knowing how it's done doesn't diminish the horror of the scene.
This is a great book for anyone in theatrics, and can be
obtained through 'Publishers Clearing House'.
Rent the film and enjoy ...
