Watching Lucio Fulci's CONQUEST (1983)

 Ever have one of those dreams that makes perfect sense when you're in it....but when you wake up you're like "what the fuck" ??? That's how this movie is. I'm not knocking it....I actually love it!!!
 It's got werewolves...and magic....and laser-arrows.....and Tusken-Raider types covered in spider webs......and hot cave-girls......in fact it's like Fulci took a lot of elements of genre films & threw them in a big Italian,Spanish,Mexican co-production & went for broke!!!
 The entire movie is filmed in a "cheese-cloth" type look, using a soft lens on the camera, giving the entire film a very dreamlike look & feel. I've been looking for it on Bluray to no avail.
 But honestly, using the softer look he used....i don't think it'll look any crisper than the beautiful BLUE UNDERGROUND DVD that i do own.
 It's great seeing Fulci do something else besides the horror that i love him for.
You owe it to yourself to watch this one. Very dream-like, very grindhouse, and a lot of fun!!!
