Citas
Aderbad: [points to a corpse] This man died yesterday in battle. Today the Goddess will accept him into Her legions... and he will fight against his old comrades.
Gaius: [scoffs] A dead soldier cannot fight against anyone.
Aderbad: [taking a dish and drinking from it] Blood! Rise, soldier... in drinking your blood, I have given it life. It now flows through your veins. Rise! Rise!
spectator: He breathes! He moves!
Aderbad: Look at him. He is alive, yet he has no will. He is the perfect warrior, for he's immortal; no one could ever kill him twice.

Colorful silliness

This is no "Hercules in the Haunted World," and it has no actual zombies (there's a sort of ghost army, plus some people who are hypnotized)--nor, perhaps more surprisingly, any musclemen--but it is definitely above the peplum average for incorporating some fantasy elements in a colorful way. The bad guys worship their bad god on a set that looks like it's left over from "Cobra Woman," and there are some simple, tacky but fun superimposition effects towards the end.

It's not a truly memorable film or even a particularly coherent (let alone original) fantasy, but if you've sat through enough Italian sword-n-sandal epics, you know how cheap and boring many of them can be. So this one definitely gets points for trying harder, and providing some sort of cheesily psychedelic effects along with the usual battle scenes and palace intrigue.
