Newcomers to Dragonslayer may question the overall attraction and affection for this film. I get that. But the dragon, all the special effects work to realize the full fire-breathing creature, are worth the price of admission alone. This 4K is only the second time I’ve seen Dragonslayer having not caught it at all in the 80s (I first saw it within the last 10 years). Not having that critical introduction around the time of its release does take away some of the adoration I might otherwise have had. The kind of adoration I have for films like Conan the Barbarian, Krull, heck, even Beastmaster. But Dragonslayer has an enduring charm that should come across to newcomers and will certainly grow in additional viewings as it has for me.
