4/10
Like sand storms through the hour glass, so are the swords of their lives.

It's up to Goliath (or Samson or Machiste....) to deal with an odd group of a blood worshiping cult kidnapping women and free these ladies from their torment. Somebody decided to mix costumes from different eras as some men look like they are from some ancient culture B. C. while some appear to be ancient Romans A. D. and others look like knights of the round table hundreds of years after that. There's a spirit of some kind of blood worshiped diety who can't have a sword run through him, leading an army of "slave robots" who seem part zombie, part vampire.

With Gordon Scott in the lead, this peplum film has exotic sets including an underground cave where scientific experiments take place to figure out how to fight this army, containing a pit of terror used to intimidate the victim to revealing information they may not even know. The creature inside has to be seen to be believes, some sort of crustacean that is quite deadly. Rather odd and almost indescribable, the type of film where you wonder what the script writer was drinking. This could have been unintentionally funny, but is unfortunately very slow outside some memorable moments including a sand storm and fights between Scott and the army of the barely living.
