Blu-ray Review - Way Bad Stone
February 09, 2025
Sometimes, when Hollywood won't take action, you just have to do it yourself. 1991's "Way Bad Stone" is a shot-on-video production that attempts to replicate parts of the "Dungeons & Dragons" experience, with director Archie Waugh looking to sustain the sword and sorcery subgenre with this tale of magic and battling. Instead of finding exotic locations to help set the mood, Waugh settles on a forest area in Florida to detail the battle between… well, evil and evil. There's basically no money being spent on the picture, leaving it up to Waugh to sell the enormity the screenplay with help from big performances and bloody acts of violence. "Way Bad Stone" is ambitious, and there's some entertainment value found in the manner the cast tries to locate the spirit of the material, laboring to bring this world to life. It's not a strong feature, losing its way in the final act, but for those who have a high tolerance for SOV efforts and low-budget fantasy, there's a certain charm to the offering.
