The Dungeonmaster aka Ragewar


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: No
Watched With: Michael

Oh man. I saw the trailer on a compilation reel and just had to see it. It's every bit as terrible and hilarious as it looks. The plot is very confusing and vague but a dude either dreams, or is sucked into a computer or is summoned by an evil sorcerer, to battle various enemies to save his girlfriend.

It feels very much like a computer game. Each level, or segment, is designed and directed by a different director and it results in quite a schizophrenic film. It's got everything but the kitchen sink.

I did like the guy that played the evil Mestema, mainly for his voice. I also liked the gratuitous but seemingly obligatory scene establishing the girlfriend as a dancer. They make us watch a whole routine with girls gyrating in very 80's leotards.

I guess there are some nice ideas in the segments but really this makes a much more interesting trailer than a film
