 'Doctor Mordrid Master of The Unknown'. (1991) – Charles Band.

Creative genre alchemists Full Moon are one of the very few independents who so frequently created dazzling B-Movie gold from such pulpy base elements. The exciting escapist fantasy Doctor Mordrid Master of The Unknown finds mankind unaware that their reality is about to be utterly usurped by maniacal sorcerer Kabal (Brian Thompson), his demonic dominion courageously combated by heroic warlock Anton Mordrid (Jeffrey Combs). Ostensibly a brisk, boisterous battle of diametrically opposed wizards for big kids of all ages, Band's enormously likeable feature's Saturday morning serial/Rocket Man ethos is manifestly part of Doctor Mordrid Master of The Unknown's great charm. For me, this is one of Jeffrey Combs most overlooked performances, his electrifying confrontations with equally charismatic Thespian Brian Thompson are pure magic!
