The Krull Movie - The Classic Fantasy Film You (Probably) Never Saw

If you love bold adventures, flaming horses, and a dash of intergalactic intrigue, then we need to talk about Krull. This cult fantasy classic has it all: dashing heroes, a mystical relic, and a cyclops who knows more than he lets on. It might just be the greatest fantasy movie of all time that no one saw. Let’s take a closer look at why Krull deserves a spot on your must-watch list.

The Plot Thickens: What Is Krull About?

Released in 1983, Krull is a swashbuckling epic that follows Prince Colwyn, played by the charming Ken Marshall, on a perilous quest. When his bride-to-be is kidnapped by an alien overlord known only as "The Beast," Colwyn must assemble a fellowship of rogues—including bandits, a wise old man, and a stoic cyclops—to rescue her. Along the way, they must locate the mythical Glaive, a magical weapon capable of defeating the Beast. Think of it as The Lord of the Rings meets Star Wars with a sprinkle of '80s flair.

Flaming Horses and Other Fantastical Feats

One of the reasons Krull stands out is its commitment to world-building. From the fiery steeds that gallop across the sky to the towering Black Fortress that houses the Beast, every element feels meticulously crafted to immerse viewers in its universe. And let’s not forget the cyclops, a tragic yet heroic figure whose foreknowledge of his own demise adds an emotional punch to the tale.
