From Google.com:
The Slave and the Sorcerer (2024) is a gory, practical-effects-filled fantasy film directed by Lawrie Brewster. It acts as an intentional throwback to the low-budget, cheesy "sword and sorcery" exploitation films of the 1980s (such as Deathstalker and The Sword and the Sorcerer). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Plot Summary
When the evil wizard Akaris abducts Princess Meyra, the king is forced to recruit a diverse band of heroes to brave a labyrinth of doom and rescue her. The team, along with a muscle-bound slave named Tyrol, must navigate treacherous traps, ancient creatures, and testing puzzles to thwart the sorcerer's dark plans and defeat a dragon. [5, 6, 7]

Key Details
- Director: Lawrie Brewster
- Cast: Chris Black (as Tyrol the Slave), Megan Tremethick (as Nemain the sorceress), and Jonathan Hansler (as the evil wizard Akaris).
- Vibe: Highly camp, self-aware, and playful. The movie embraces 80s tropes like bad wigs, baby oil, over-the-top practical gore, and creature suits.
- Reception: It was the Best Fantasy Film winner at the 2024 Romford Horror Festival. Critics describe it as a fun, old-school dungeon-crawler brought to life. [3, 9]
