Long, long ago the King of the land has died and it's now up to his heir to take a new bride, which will be picked by the high priestess, Shira (Rena Mero). There are eight virgin princesses and the bride will be one of them. But they are all kidnapped by an evil woman, a daughter of the old King, who brands them and puts them to work in the silver mines. And now Shira must try to rescue them. Of course, the female villain is over-the-top, with a thick accent, dark hair and-since she's imprisoned and tortured the princesses-an evil lesbian. In several fight scenes, which are primarily in close-up as to not show real sword fighting, she kills quite a few men. The only thing I wished to see was a more supernatural element, perhaps a monster or two.This movie is exactly like those low-budget sword and sorcerer movies from the early 80's, which isn't entirely a bad thing. Shot in the Czech Republic, the producers made great use of an old castle and the other locations. And although I've never seen Rena Mero (WWE's Sable) in anything, believe it or not, she proves herself a competent actor and has a good presence. From MTI Home Video.
