the undead have all the trademark of a corman film . it get sensational theme and cheap set and highly stylize and overripe elizabethan dialog and a plot with severe attention deficit disorder and and b to z level actor try hard to maintain their dignity in a thankless situation . if you be to tune into this by accident 30 minute in and without a glance at a program guide or know anything about the plot or the actor and you would be able to say corman within 30 second . speaking of the actor and the performance here be what the movie seem to call for . the major exception be the weird angry burst of energy from the time traveler near the end of the movie when he tell the heroine to stay . it like watch an outbreak of dramatic tourette syndrome . i do not have a problem with complicated plot and esoteric concept like time travel and past life regression and romantic triangle and witchcraft . but corman can not even come close to pull this ambitious story off in a setting of a kingdom with maybe 12 people in it and a scope of action small than most british bedroom farce . especially when the plot substitute sheer movement and scenery change for intrigue and story arc and which make the movie an exercise in pad . once the hero ( sir gullible ) find his wronged romantic love for the first time and all he have to do be to put her on his horse with him and ride out of the 10 acre kingdom for 24 hour . and the middle 2/3rds of the movie would have be completely unnecessary . i be pretty sure that corman and the screenwriter be hop the viewer do not think of that . of course and then the movie would have be 30 minute long and have a simple happy end . this kind of plotting be emblematic of the reason that corman would never be more than a z level director good basic plot idea and but no commitment to get the detail right or make them urgent and convincing . the movie also apparently think we be all moron . the big dramatic choice at the climax be obvious once it be state and it a nice and chewy one where the heroine have to choose between live out her life and have her future selves never come into be and or else meet her destined fate of an early death and send her soul onto to it future incarnation . the implication of her dilemma and her eventual decision should have be in the actress eye and bearing . ( meryl streep could have pull it off and no problem ) while and this actress do seem to have a few chop herself ( for a corman cast member ) . but instead the screenplay bludgeon u over the head with the dilemma for at least five minute with all the cast member tell her what she should do . and then the time traveler burst in with his weird and inappropriate stay . comment and completely distract the viewer from the drama of the choice that the heroine must make . in the movie defense and the twist at the end be a bit eerie and unsettling and and the devil final word to the time traveler have a nice faustian or marlowe ring to them . that add at least one star to the rating . also in it favor and the two babe do look smash in their costume and even if most of the men look completely ridiculous and uncomfortable in their leotard and armor and whatnot . billy barty be in this . he play an imp . barty give the most generic imp performance i have ever see in my life . it a if he be read from the big golden book of act under the chapter title smirking and gesturing and be short represent your best tool for impdom . mst coverage of this be some of their best work and but a viewer can find plenty to poke fun at in this movie without their help and if that what suit them . ambitous enough and but definitely one of corman lesser effort .
