a very bad adaptation of a wonderful short story by master fantasy and sci fi writer roger zelazny . none of zelazny many other novel or short be make into feature in his lifetime and and this film be probably why . the sci fi channel be currently threaten a tv version of zelazny amber series ( nine prince in amber and etc . ) let pray it be light year away from this turkey . if stephen spielberg be read this and check out zelazny jack of shadow or doorway in the sand .
