Mill Creek Entertainment,
known for its “instant libraries,” collectible full-season TV series, and
KidVid packages will have genre-fan’s hearts aflutter on Sept. 30 with the news
this week that director Peter Yates’ 1983 sci-fi thriller, Krull, will be available
as a Blu-ray product offering for the eye-popping SRP of just $9.98!!!
The “Beast” of the Black
Fortress and its minions of “Slayers” fall upon the planet Krull at a crucial
time — during the wedding-of-alliance between Princess Lyssa (Lysette Anthony —
Dracula:
Dead and Loving It, Look Who's Talking Now) and Prince
Colwyn (Ken Marshall — Feds, The Gods Must Be Crazy II)
— in order to defeat the prophecy that their offspring will rule the
universe.
With Lyssa a prisoner and
Colwyn left for dead it looks as though the Black Fortress can roam (teleport) about
the universe unfettered. But then we
wouldn’t have much of an aventure … would we?
Instead, Prince Colwyn is
rescued and nursed back to health by Ynyr (Freddie Jones), who gives him
instructions on how to defeat the “Beast” … a band of misfits is formed and
Colwyn sets out to rescue his true love and fulfill the prophecy.
Long before Lord
of the Rings — and in the wake of Star Wars — come Krull
and for genre fans it comes none too soon in hi-def!
Also heading to the
Blu-ray format on Sept. 30 are director Jim Gillespie’s stylish 1997 slasher
