Sure, it may come with a cavalcade of caveats – it appears to have been produced on a shoestring budget of roughly $58.50, has no real noteworthy actors, and has seemingly been overlooked by every movie review outlet in the world – but it’s still managed to lodge itself into Freevee’s Top 10 two days on the trot, per Flix Patrol.
For the unaware, 2015’s Mythica: A Quest for Heroes is the debut project from writer-director Anne K. Black, and kicks off a sword-and-sorcery series that now spans five films, with a sixth officially in pre-production. Interestingly, the first pic was partly fan-funded over on Kickstarter and ultimately went on to receive a sizeable injection of $94,294 in funding. (Yes, I was only joking about its budget earlier!)
The story focuses upon a young magician (Melanie Stone) and a slave (Adam Johnson), who must build a party of adventurers to battle a powerful Necromancer called Szorlok, who is busy spreading an evil plague known as the Darkspore. Yes, it’s all pretty throwaway stuff, but thankfully, the actual movie is supposedly quite watchable.
