Son of Samson (1960)
5/10
Italian sword and sandal
30 January 2023
Ancient Egypt is being ravaged by Persia. The men are killed while the women are sent into slavery. Pharaoh Armiteo I gets betrayed by his Queen Smedes and murdered. His son Kenamun becomes the new Pharaoh, but the Queen brainwashes him with a magic amulet. While on his desert journeys, Kenamun had saved the life of strong man Maciste (Mark Forest). Maciste is dismayed by Kenamun's apparent turn against the people and intends to sneak into the palace to talk to the new Pharaoh.

This is an Italian sword and sandal flick. The production is pretty big and they did film a few scenes in Egypt. Surprisingly, muscle man Mark Forest is not necessarily the worst actor. He's not good, but he's not the worst. The problem is that there is plenty bad acting all over the place. This is safely secured in B-movie territory.
