Hercules

A campy, low-budget fantasy that feels like a fever dream of lasers and swords, equal parts silly and ambitious.

With the help of a benevolent sorceress, Circe, Hercules tries to save his beloved Cassiopeia from being sacrificed by Minos, and struggles against laser-breathing creatures and an evil sorceress.
How it feels: Campy, whimsical, dark and satirical. Brisk and demanding.
