The New Barbarians is a rather unique entry in the fantasy genre, blending the absurd with the erotic in a way that few films dare to attempt. The glowing crystal at the heart of the story, affecting both time travel and sexual desire, sets a tone that is as bizarre as it is entertaining. Victoria Paris's performance as the fiercely sexual amazon is memorable, and her journey through various steamy encounters adds a layer of absurdity that keeps things interesting, if not totally coherent. The pacing is a bit uneven, which can be off-putting, but the practical effects and costume design have a certain charm, making it distinctive in the realm of low-budget fantasy.
The New Barbarians has gained a bit of a cult following over the years, though it's not the easiest title to find in pristine condition. Originally released on VHS, it has become something of a rarity, especially in the collector's market. Its odd mix of fantasy elements and adult themes attracts niche collectors, making it an interesting piece for those who appreciate the more obscure corners of genre cinema.
