A 1983 Micheal Mann film set in Romania, 1942, where a detachment of the German Army is sent to guard a mysterious Romanian citadel located on a strategic mountain pass. When soldiers begin to be mysteriously murdered, the SS arrives to deal with what is thought to be partisan activity. What the SS finds, however, is an evil force trapped within the Keep and a force which will do anything in order to escape.

Nov 19, 2008 - Wow. Never heard of this film til now. Personally I could've done without the Tangerine Dream soundtrack... Legend has all of that you'll ever need. It's an amazing movie but seriously, WHAT THE HELL? You'd think Nazis vs demon would be a pretty straightforward deal but I guess not. But hey, it's got Ian McKellan in it! Kudos, Cyprus!

Nov 19, 2008 - Thank you so much for this CC!! This movie was so strong on so many levels and the soundtrack divine. Staggering that very few can appreciate this work but I'm very grateful that you do and that you've shared it here. I really hope they release it on DVD soon.

Nov 19, 2008 - You not seen the version of Legend with the original Jerry Goldsmith score? It's much better, especially the ballroom scene.
Capng123 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Didn't know there even was such a thing... I'll have to keep an eye out for it...
zoltai9 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - It's a much longer version too. I'm not too keen on Legend, (and it has Tom in it) but it looks fantastic, and certainly worthy of watching more than once, compared to a lot of other so-called fantasy film genres.
Capng123 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Erg... I dunno if I could take a LONGER version, much as I love Tim Curry as Darkness... cool goblins too. Damn... was the 80s just THAT much better or am I nuts?
zoltai9 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - You're NOT going nuts, man. And yes, I think you're right about not enduring an even longer version of Legend, haha. It's only worth it for the soundtrack really, as you don't see any more of Darkness.

Nov 19, 2008 - I know I've already sent my thanks and the like. But I can not express my self any more than I may have. The movie, for it's time was brilliantly put forth. As for the score, no; I do not believe any other could have done it better. Thank You!
