Prisoners of the Lost Universe (1983)
Three people are transported into a parallel universe. There they find that they must use modern technology, but medieval weapons, in order to save the citizenry from a murderous warlord.
Despite the always awesome John Saxon, this one is a bit of a car crash. It plays for cheap laughs most of the time and throws a poor script and luke-warm action into the mix too. There's a lot of 'stuff' happening, it's just said 'stuff' is a little poorly executed and the resultant film just comes across as a bit clumsy and awkward.
38/100
Black Friday (1940)
No, not another excuse to buy loads of cheap stuff that you don't actually really want, but instead a spin on the Jekyll & Hyde formula with Karloff and Lugosi. This one is pretty enjoyable with solid performances all around, although Lugosi is criminally under-used.
