Krull

This is a review of fantasy movie "Krull" (1983).
Directed by Peter Yates and starred Ken Marshall, Liam Neeson and Lysette Anthony.
Set in a medieval society on planet Krull, a prince and princess are deeply in love and want to marry, except that they come from two warring families. It's established early in the film that both agree to marry to build an alliance, and unite humans against the Slayers, an alien technological army that arrived in a giant spaceship called the Black Fortress. The leader of this Black Fortress is called The Beast. During the royal wedding, Slayers attack the palace and kidnap the princess. The film is mostly set on an epic journey as the prince is destined to locate the magical weapon called Glaive that will help him. He journeys with a patchwork of friends including a cyclops.
I rate this film at 7/10.
My favourites from Krull are the Fire Mares.

Jack the Giant Killer (1962)

Besides horror, this blog is also keen on reviewing fantasy films, like this old 1962 stop motion "Jack the Giant Killer". Directed by Nathan H. Juran and then produced by Edward Small. It stars Kerwin Mathews, Judi Meredith and Torin Thatcher.
The film has a load of special effects that are pretty good for its time. A princess is kidnapped by a sorcerer who uses dark magic. Then a young farmer named Jack saves the princess and wins a knighthood. This brings Jack into a longer voyage when the princess is taken once again and he sets out to rescue her, making new friends along the way. A vibrant film with plenty of magic and charm.
The scariest thing in the film was the storm witch.
I rate this a 7/10.

A werewolf Samhain

A message from all of us lycanthropes:
Have a very scary but howling happy Samhain.
Be careful who you open your doors to on Halloween as not all those who come knocking may be trick or treaters.
If you're happening to be out there trick or treating, always be wary of the houses you visit. Stay cautious of the sweets you're given. It's safe to avoid eating candy from strangers. Instead bury the food or leave them as offerings for the dead. Honour your ancestors. Gifts will be for the spirits and nature.
If you go out on Samhain night, wear some pendant, talisman or stone, preferably made of black tourmaline and amethyst. These stones are believed to protect someone against evil entities and negative energy. While the veil is lifted, all kinds of things can appear. Place these stones in your rooms and inside your car, wear them or carry them in your pockets.
