Peter Yates spends a career working on hardboiled detective and crime films, yet in the early 1980’s he gets a chance to change up the genre and try his hand at some Fantasy fare…with mixed results. Neither fish nor fowl, mired down by producers insisting that they keep adding in Science Fiction elements to the story as “Star Wars is really big right now”- which leads to somewhat of a messy fantasy picture. An alien Space Lord who is known as the “Beast” with his stormtrooper laser staff wielding army sets off to enslave the medieval world of Krull. Join Chris as he talks video stores, the impracticality of glaives, and the convenience of firemares as the LSCE screens the 1983 cult film “Krull.” Join us!
