Critic Reviews
-
Sarah Boslaugh, PopMatters
[Estelle} Winwood provides some campy humor (I kept thinking of Bewitched every time she was on screen)...
-
Brian Costello, Common Sense Media
Kitschy knight quest is fun '60s flashback; some battles.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Looking like a Beach Party movie with swords.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Heavy on laughable special effects and outrageously broad performances...
-
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Silly fun with some winning performances and campy effects
