| User ReviewKris ALittle is spoken of this true classic but we see Jeffrey Combs at his best here! The man is a master of the Sci-Fi genre and should have been properly given several sequels with this character. |
| User ReviewXenosAnother great Full Moon Flick! Jeffery Combs (Re-Animator, STDS9) stars as Dr. Anton Mordrid, a sorcerer from another dimension who defends earth from the evil wizard Kabal. More than just a Dr. Strange ripoff, this film was to be the first of a series of films for Full Moon staring the good Doctor. Too bad they were never created. |

| User ReviewAlex GThis film went into production as the DR STRANGE movie, but they lost the rights before the filming...well, i have to say that I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED there to be a magician movie like this. It has all the heart of a good DR STRANGE story, with the fun of a 80s classic. So much fun. |
| User ReviewD MFun, cheesy little romp. One of Full Moons better from their catalog. It's basically a low rent Dr. Strange, so if you wanna prepare yourself for that, and don't mind some cheese, check it out. |
| User ReviewSarah-Jane SFun little sorceror flick plays kind of like a low budget Dr. Strange ripoff. |
| User ReviewJason DAnother alright sci-fi movie from Full Moon. The idea was totally ripped off from Doctor Strange comic book villain Doctor Mordrid yet Charles Band claims its an original idea. Jeffrey Combs is always good. |
| User ReviewRobert HAs guilty pleasures go, "Doctor Mordrid" was both very guilty and very pleasurable. It's the kind of film that tries to tell an epic story spanning centuries (if not millions of years) in a very short 68 minutes of TV time (did I miss any gore or breasts?), and to suggest the threat of the apocalypse and the enslavement of all mankind with three major characters, five or six sets, and about as many secondary characters and extras. "Doctor Mordrid"'s best asset is the ever excellent Jeffrey Combs as the title hero. He was my reason for watching the film in the first place, and I wasn't disappointed. He manages to create a character that is both powerful and vulnerable, a sort of superheroic nerd of the occult (half Mandrake, half Colin Wilson), which makes me regret that the film did not spawn a fantasy TV series, however much it looks like a pilot for one. Now that I've seen him in this role, I also regret he didn't get the part of Commander Riker in "Star Trek: The Next Generation." He may be more than eight inches shorter than Frakes, but he sure would have made a great Number One. Confronting him as the evil alchemist is Brian Thompson, who has been the bad guy in countless TV series, including "Buffy", "The X-Files" and no less than three Star Trek spin-offs (quiz: which one wasn't he in?) As for the "love interest", Yvette Nipar, she is probably best remembered as Detective Lisa Madigan in the Robocop TV series, though she also featured in a few episodes of "Brisco County" (which was what I had seen her in.) Apart from Combs, I particularly enjoyed the retro SFX, the alchemical paraphernalia, Mordrid's half-hi-tech, half-gothic apartment, his crow Edgar, and the Dave Allen stop-motion animation, which has always been a highlight of Charles Band productions, however short his sequences usually are. The old-fashioned coffee machine is also worth the look (no, not the contraption Mordrid uses, but the clunky early-90s machine in the police station.) The film is completely silly, but if you are able to put yourself in a place where you can enjoy "Hawk the Slayer", then you should love it. It's definitely in the Full Moon Top 10 (which may not be saying much for some of you.) (According to Imdb, this film was originally intended as a movie version of "Doctor Strange", but the names were changed when Full Moon lost the rights. This didn't prevent Charles Band from claiming it was based on an original idea of his...) |
| User ReviewSuper KThis is a comic book movie and I'm surprised it was '92 because it's heavily late '80's style which as I remember was still going well in the early '90's, anyway it's a sci-fi, magic, fantasy kind of thing. I don't know what they were thinking with the costumes. Combs, who was so hot throughout the movie, had to wear purple silk pj's that were laughable as magic robes. The set in his apartment was cool to look at, the special effects were substandard but I think they all were at the time. The leading lady was flat. The only thing to really do with this movie is watch Combs because he's awesome. |
