Plot Summary

In the face of total annihilation by the omnipotent Beast's unstoppable hordes of Slayers, the young aristocrats of two hostile neighbouring nations--the brave Prince Colwyn and the fair Princess Lyssa--are about to come into union, and form an alliance against the common enemy. However, the otherworldly adversary is all-powerful, and before long, a fateful abduction will trigger a desperate quest to the evil entity's grim Black Fortress, as Colwyn and a handful of mismatched defenders are willing to dice with death to ensure the land's future. In this suicide mission, the magical, five-edged weapon known as the Glaive is their only chance of survival. Can Prince Colwyn slay the Beast, save Lyssa and Krull, the small planet in the middle of the vast galaxy? Written by Nick Riganas

Trivia According to special make-up designer Nick Maley, the special effects character of the Beast was "the first self-contained animatronic suit... providing not only facial movement but also lung, heart and body-fluid movement all without a single external cable! . . .The Emerald Sear transformation puppet, which was intercut with a non 3-D transformation make-up, attracted the welcome attention of the great Dick Smith".
