Sorceress [1982]

This movie asks the question, what if Andy Sidaris played Dungeons and Dragons? 

The plot is kind of hard to follow for basic logic reasons. An evil sorcerer goes after the mother of his children in order to sacrifice their first born to a god who gives him power. The surprise is that she had twins and won't tell him who the older one is. The twins are given connection powers by a wizard or something and then they are raised as boys (for no discernible reason) by some peasants. They encounter a Pan-like man and a red-bearded viking who take them to a Middle Eastern style brothel where they meet some blonde guy to help them. They are captured shortly after and the guys who caught them do a spell to see which is older. The older one is taken to an Egyptian style palace with the blonde guy as her consort, given soma (yeah, like from Brave New World), and then set up for the sacrifice. There's a final battle. The good guys win and it's kind of implied that the blonde guy gets both twins?

This movie is lame. Most of the film operates under the "rule of cool." There's a lot of boobs peeking through absolutely hideous costumes. The lore doesn't really make sense. The acting and fighting are unconvincing. There's gotta be better fantasy out there.

Spoon Rating: 2
