Sorceress (1982)
4/10
Sorceress

At first glance this is a fantasy film for kids, but the murderous raid near the beginning followed by gratuitous nudity soon disavows the viewer of that notion. Let's just say it's a film for kids of all ages who are old enough to consent to you know what. The plot has a bad guy, a couple of good guys - one of them a bit of an idiot - and two good girls. No, not good in the sense of well-behaved. They are played by real life twins Leigh and Lynette Harris, who are not averse to taking off their clothes in other films either.

Where were we? Yeah, there is plot, of sorts, but if "Sorceress" scores for anything it is for special effects. Sadly, there could have been more. One should also wonder how it got its title since the sorcery is done by the bad guy, who happens to be their father, but not the doting Dad kind since he wants to kill the firstborn in order to complete some kind of bizarre magic ritual that will magnify his already considerable power. How sad is that? Or maybe it's just plain wicked.
