One of the most ambitious - if not the most ambitious - of Roger Corman's early movies, helped by a great script and story from Charles Griffith. It's a clever, imaginative story, well executed, which doesn't cop out - Pamela Duncan plays a hooker, the lead character dies, characters get their heads chopped off.
The budget was too limited. The characters look silly in their medieval outfits - like they're at a theme part. Duncan and the lead guy aren't good. Allison Hayes is perfect. I wish Corman had remade this in the 60s with Vincent Price and Daniel Haller.
