Fulci's Conquest.
Plenty of gore in this fantasy tale, but the script and direction is a big disappointment. So is some of the FX of the day, (it looks cheesily and ridiculously cheap) but still...Fulci does a decent job keeping it all together. The characterisation is not much to write home about, and there's not much going in the action either. Not to mention the horrid music which makes things only worse.
Overall, a disappointment from the Fulci home of movie-making.
Rating - * *
