This is one weird mama jama of a movie. It's based on some Russo-Finnish tale and involves some blonde hero, a damsel, an old crone witch and other people. Although strange, it has a very fantasy-like effect and was done back in 1959. Most films today try this and fail horribly (computer enhanced special EFX do not make a movie). My favorite part is when the witch chants SAMPO! SAMPO! SAMPO! Joel and the rest at Best Brains must've had the strangest looks on their faces when they covered this one.
