The Evil Forest

Brave hero Parsifal, orphan and raised among wolves, must recover the Holy Grail from the hands of the evil wizard Klingsor, a Barbarian chieftain who killed his father, and thus save the wounded Amfortas, ruler of the Grail kingdom. Kundria, a beautiful and seductive houri, and even the Seven Deadly Sins will try to stop Parsifal and his noble quest.

Directed by Daniel Mangrané, The Evil Forest leans on a strong ensemble — Ludmilla Tchérina, Gustavo Rojo, Carlo Tamberlani — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1951.
