It’s Fred Olen Ray, so you pretty much know what you’re in for. Actually, to be honest, this has higher production values than the typical Fred Olen Ray effort. The male guard costumes are actually kinda cool, and there are some decently passable creature effects in this.
Since most of the action takes place on a prison ship in space, you’re also not subjected to as much of the “L.A. hills as stand-in for anywhere else” scenery, which is a relief.
The best thing though, is probably the awesome poster art. It’s the kind of stuff that made you grab this VHS off the shelf at your local video store back in the day.
Strangely enough, this was the second half of an unintentional Aldo Ray double feature for me (the first movie I watched earlier in the day was Kill A Dragon from 1967). Ray plays the Inquisitor here. Funny seeing him by accident in two movies decades apart. I’m sure he’d have liked that.
