Format:DVD
Good Sword & Sorcery action film, set in Dark Age/Medieval times (as opposed to Conan/Lord Of The Rings pre-history) with an overt fantasy edge.
It's successful in overcoming it's budgetary limitations, with plenty of action, decent sets/costumes etc and inventive visual FX. There's quite a high gore content here with grisly plague victims, heads cleaved in half, and hearts magically torn out! A very good villain too with the demonic, Sorcerer of the title (Great Make Up FX). The fight choreography is reasonable too with an impressive final sword fight ( incl. a three bladed mystical sword that can actually propel the blades, in missile fashion!)
The film has more of an Indiana Jones feel, than the intensity of Conan The Barbarian or Excalibur. It actually reminds me of Paul Verhoeven's Flesh And Blood, but with the Fantasy elements in full effect.
Oh, and there's a fair share of T & A for the lads!
The real dissapointment though is the picture quality - It looks a bit grainy, as if the film was copied direct from VHS onto DVD, instead of properly remastered. :(
It is still worth buying despite this, as still (just) better than VHS and it's a good film!

Thanks to Amazon for making this classic older movie available for me to enjoy again, my old vhs copy has long since worn away with over usage, although very dated now, i always thought that this movie was great, they certainly don't make them like this anymore.
Format:DVD
I bought this in the spur of the moment, as I couldn't find what I was looking for, well worth it if you like the cheesy fantasy films... ;o)

Better than Conan.
In the Same way that 'Robocop' was a much better Judge Dredd film than 'Judge Dredd', this is a much better Conan film than any of the Conan films. Read more

Just read the title
THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER came out the year after the brilliant CONAN THE BARBARIAN, and is defintly one of the best sword and sorcery flicks to have followed in Conan's wake. Read more
