When I watched Chillers recently, my friend Matt bemoaned the lack of nudity in the Troma movie. Its true, not a ton of these are nude romps. But this one is.
Crystal Force is less than 90 minutes, and it feels like it is even shorter than it is, which is always a good sign. Its a cocaine-feeling weird descent into madness as a mystical shop gives things to people that cause weird happens ala Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders. This time, a woman is given a big crystal and when she brings it home weird crap begins.
Mostly the weird crap has to do with women somehow getting their tops ripped off. Which I loved. There's a lot of excellent tits in this movie and I was glued to the screen when they were showing. They're only paid with nonsense and lack of knowing what's going on, but what can you really expect from a director who's only other credit looks like it's softcore porn?
The average shot of this looks like something from a home VHS recorder, and for all I know it was. I scrolled down the IMDB though and I see Crystal Force 2: Dark Angel exists. Guess what I'm looking for tomorrow? I give this one a solid B movie 3 stars.
