Early Empire Pictures effort has producer Charles Band (one of B-movies best known names) assembling seven(!) directors (including himself) for this loosely-knit sci-fi/horror/fantasy effort that has computer geek Jeffrey Byron being sucked into another dimension by baddie Mestema (Richard Moll, and Satan by any other name) and having to do a whole bunch of "challenges" (hey, they needed something to hang the segments together with) in order to save his girlfriend.

While comic book in flavour and with a not bad typical 80's musical score this is a tedious time with lots of chintzy effects, thin plotting and a bunch of cheap laughs.

The sequences that involve (in order) a stone giant (okay stop motion by co-director Allen), some zombies (they look pretty good), heavy metal band WASP (funny!), wax museum beasts, a serial killer, demons and some Road Warrior-like baddies just seem to be too short except for the really weak slasher one.

For all the people involved this should have been a fun timewaster; what it is though is a curiously bland and pointless time.
