Hawk The Slayer

Hawk The Slayer

1980

A warrior named Hawk assembles a misfit band of companions — including a crow that serves as a spy and a mute giant — to defeat the evil warlord Voltan and rescue an abbot's prisoners. This low-budget British fantasy film developed a cult following despite its obvious limitations, drawing on the then-fashionable sword-and-sorcery genre.
