Description: The Dungeonmaster is a gleefully bizarre example of a sci-fi/fantasy anthology film that refuses to play by its own rules. Divided into seven distinct story segments, each written and directed by a different person, it’s disjointed, and often incomprehensible, but full of imagination. The story is about a demonic wizard who challenges a modern-day computer programmer to a battle of technology vs. sorcery, with the programmer's girlfriend as the prize. The film features an appearance by the heavy metal band W.A.S.P. and is largely known by cinephiles for the line of dialogue "I reject your reality and I substitute my own." Filming began in 1983, but the film was shot and edited in 1988, but never completed.
