Ever since he was an infant, young adventurous George (Gary Lockwood) has been raised by Sybil, a kindly old red-haired witch. She's overprotective and doesn't want him to go rescue the local princess, Helene, who is kidnapped by the evil Sorcerer Lodac (Basil Rathbone). But Sir Branton (Liam Sullivan), who looks like a sinister version of Errol Flynn, also wants to rescue the princess and marry her. So Helene's father, the King, has Branton and George join forces to go to Lodac's castle and get her. George has six knights with him, which include Sir Dennis of France, Sir Pedro of Spain, Sir Patrick of Ireland, Anthony of Italy, James of Scotland, and Ulrich of Germany. One by one
I remember first seeing this at a Matinee when I was five or six and it scared the crap out of my because the deaths are so brutal and the monsters creepy. Now watching it nearly forty years later the movie still holds up. Probably director/Producer Bert I Gordon's best movie, next to FOOD OF THE GODS.
