Peak sword-and-sorcery comfort food 😁
The Beastmaster is exactly the kind of ’80s fantasy movie I can throw on and instantly have a good time with. Marc Singer is great as Dar, the animal sidekicks give the movie a ton of personality, and Rip Torn is clearly having a blast being evil. Throw in Tanya Roberts, John Amos, weird cult stuff, monsters, sword fights, and a whole lot of practical stunt work and I’m sold. What really makes it work for me is that it feels like an actual adventure instead of just a string of set pieces. The world is colorful, dangerous, and slightly ridiculous in exactly the right way, and John Alcott’s photography gives it way more visual class than a movie called The Beastmaster probably needed. 😁 The Vinegar Syndrome Ultra release is killer too. The 4K restoration looks fantastic while keeping a natural film texture, and the set is absolutely loaded with commentaries, two making-of documentaries, outtakes, Super 8 footage, galleries, and more. Great movie, stacked release, killer artwork. This is exactly what I want from a big physical-media edition. Easy 5/5.
