Just the story of a guy who wants to rescue his sister.. I mean his wife.. I mean his sister.. from Dakkar, the evil spider king. Along the way we get bad wigs, tough warrior babes, Laura Emanuelle Gemser as a witch, a giant spider being held up by strings, and the cutest pet ever: a little bear cub.

I was expecting D'Amato sleaze disguised as a Conan rip-off, but there really wasn't any. Sabrina Siani does get naked at a certain point, but the scene is short and filmed from some distance. He really restrained himself, I didn't think that was possible.

The script was apparently co-written by Michelle Soavi, but he remained uncredited.

Seeping volcanic miasmas bury the land in soporific tarantula-motion! Murmuring, a shrug episodically falls to the earth like a disappearing deer in a cave-trap. Bear cubs grunt and scamper across the grass, ahead or behind! Amoral, non-interested, distant to immediacy. A gleam shone from cruddy armor, a sky like a blood quartz shattered and not swept. Zones and paths started and abandoned, crossed and held up, all a circular labyrinth, web-patterned, a lure, a diversion, predestination. The Old Gods summoned from their holes only to die into an Age Of Boredom, foretold and only delayed for so long. The Old Gods always dying, never dead, always rising, never risen. Long Live The Spider Sanctuary Hidden From The Eyes Of Men! Under The Cratered Crater Of The Extinguished Volcano! Heed This Warning And Do Not Cross! Leave Be What You Cannot Know! Flee Far From This Place Never To Return! <3 nathaxnne

adventure, it is found with the friendly amazonian sell-sword who accompanies you on your quest, her formidable skills empowered and bedazzled by golden eyeshadow, and also with a tiny black bear who scampers as fast as his little legs will carry him through sun-dappled meadows, the cold breeze in your hair and silver wind-chimes singing your legend throughout the ages -- against the cult of the spider-god, heroes rise to the challenge and save the day through a judicious use of mirror shield, an indispensable +1 magick item for kombating giant arachnids and their sorcerer-servitors.

Men are for breeding.

4/10

2.5 stars for Ator and Roon.

One of the hottest and most heroic barbarian duos.

And I just love trash films.

Two stars for the giant spider but a half deducted for the horrible end title song.

An Italian Conan ripoff rated PG? I should have known.

Inzest, schlecht sitzende Perücken und eine Story, in der eigentlich nie jemand weiß warum gerade etwas passiert. Joe D'Amatos Conan-Rip-off ist ein trashiges Fantasy-Abenteuer, das auch als Werbespot für die Rügenwalder Mühle herhalten könnte. Grauenhaft schlechte Kampfchoreografien, willkürliche auftauchende Hexen und Zombie-Krieger und ein Tyrann mit einem Vogelspinnen-Kink. Ein Film wie Ator kommt dabei raus, wenn man D'Amato sagt, es soll keine schmuddeligen Sexszenen oder Gore im Film geben.

-----------------------

Incest, ill-fitting wigs and a story in which no one really knows why anything is happening. Joe D'Amato's Conan-Rip-off is a trashy fantasy adventure that could also serve as a commercial for Rügenwalder Mühle. Horribly bad fight choreography, randomly appearing witches and zombie warriors and a tyrant with a tarantula-kink. A movie like Ator comes out when you tell D'Amato that there should be no grubby sex scenes or gore in the movie.
