Viewing Notes
Part of my Worth Keeter semi-intentional double feature while laid up recovering from knee surgery, Unmasking the Idol is a fun b-grade, direct-to-video effort that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which opens the way for a lot of goofy fun.
I think I did the two movies in reverse order (the other movie is The Order of the Black Eagle) and this is the better of the two, though both are great.
Keeter is good with action and explosions (and by good I mean, campy but cool), so it’s no surprise he went on to direct a shit ton of Power Rangers, VR Troopers, Beetle Borgs and Masked Rider TV series.
