Viewing Notes
A sword and sorcery movie directed by Lucio Fulci? I’m in!
The plot is disjointed in places, but overall this was a pretty fun movie. Lots of goofy action, budget effects and costuming make it a great watch. It’s also scored by Claudio Simonetti. I’d love to have a copy of the score in all its ‘80s glory!
Since I’ve never seen Conquest before, I’m not sure of the washed out, dull print I saw was a result of a bad transfer (Blue Underground DVD release) or if that’s how the movie was actually filmed (hard to tell since there was so much machine generated fog wafting through many of the scenes). Either way, it was a detraction.
Assuming it was a bad transfer, I’d LOVE to see a good 35mm print of this on a big screen, or even a better DVD transfer.
Despite that, it’s a fun watch; probably better with friends than alone.
