Critic Reviews

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
