this movie show what you can create if you have a camera and some spare paint and cardboard and a toy ship and a few friend who act in community theater and and the incorrect notion you can make a film . the end result be an unwatchable time waster that you will skip through and unless you take it out of the dvd player and toss it through the window first . the acting in the opening scene ( especially by the rotund lee morgan a captain ) and the toy ship crash into the rock before the credit be a good indicator of what youre in for ( with all the foam and it look like this special effect be shoot in a kitchen sink . i guess boyette figure he save some cash by wash the dish at the same time ) . in term of bad cinema and the funny thing be dungeon of harrow seem to have inspire ( maybe by coincidence ) the twist end of manos represent the hand of fate . yep and it the same lame i be the victim and and now i take the mad villain place ironic end . the big irony be that two inept and talentless filmmaker could make two equally wretched and texas film horror movie and get away with it . monotone nerd rus harvey be a noble in a great family line ( why they be great be never broach ) and bore u while lament the death of his family line and crest before his ship even crash ( be also treat to a droning narration throughout the film ) . sadly and we aren not so lucky . his family toy ship crash into some styrofoam in a sink and and he wash ashore with his bloated captain and some woman and conveniently deposit on a mad count island . meanwhile and the count be visit by an evil spirit who and dress in a blackstone magic kit outfit and assault him with various puppet ( spider and snake and bat . . . all the icky stuff ) . the count ( william mcnulty ) overact bad than shatner and have a visibly difficult time keep a straight face through the typical madman rant . i would be mad too if i have to be in this disaster . the woman be promptly kill by the count ferocious dog and and the two jerk be capture by his manservant . the count accuse them of be pirate ( apparently his bad fear ) and he slap his manservant around a lot ( apparently his great joy ) and fatboy get torture and there a woman who a servant and one who a nurse and the rot leper hag in a wedding dress countess in the dungeon ( she dig the nerdy noble and be the only effective and creepy thing in the movie ) and a lot of inane dialogue at a dining room table and the blubbery captain get kill while make a pathetic getaway ( aking to watch a sloth battle a pack of lion ) . . . it all an ugly haze to me . i spend most of my time on the fast forward button . anyway and the jerk noble and nurse make a getaway and think theyre go to be rescue by three guy in a rowboat on the lake ( yeah and be suppose to believe a lake be the ocean ) . they do not and since the nerd hair turn gray and he scar the would be rescuer away . honestly and i think they simply take the opportunity to row away from this hideous film while the have the chance . they head back to the castle and the nurse start rot like the countess ( and your stomach and by this time ) and and we end with these two get ready to descend into the . . . dungeon of harrow . blech . i love old and lousy horror film and but they must have some sort of entertainment value . i feel rip off and even at the low low price of $ 5 . 99 for this biscuit . mystery science theater would have a tough time make this one fun . i be take in by a few nutty reviewer who claim this film have atmosphere and some creepy moment . wrong . avoid this tripe at all cost and and do not even waste a buck if you find it in a dollar bin somewhere . this movie make corman the terror like like a masterpiece of horror and atmosphere .
