Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A computer expert faces a wizard's gauntlet of monsters, murder and heavy metal. Each new challenge seems to have arrived from a different video rental, which is part of this multi-director fantasy's charm. The connecting logic is much less impressive than its commitment to changing the scenery.
