Fan Film: Fall of Grayskull

"Fall of Grayskull - Full Movie (short) - He-Man" by Daniel Benedict

If, like me, you were an eighties kid, then Mattel’s Masters of the Universe franchise was probably a big part of your childhood.  The toy line inspired an animated series of half hour toy commercials we called cartoons, comic books, video games and one spectacularly bad live-action film that I watched on VHS about five hundred times. 

Director Daniel Benedict has adapted the cartoon into an incredibly earnest fan film.  Funded through Kickstarter, Benedict’s “Fall of Grayskull” stars pro wrestler Brian Cage as He-Man, who battles his arch-nemesis Skeletor for control of Grayskull and the fate of a bizarrely under-populated Eternia, which you'd think would have raised some sort of military by now.  The film features all of your favorite characters, including Teela, Tri-Klops, Evil-Lyn, and even Hordak.


Although the production values don't exactly scream Hollywood, “Fall of Grayskull” is clearly a labor of love, and it's sure to stir up a whole lot of nostalgia for eighties kids.

[ This non-profit film is not associated with or endorsed by Nintendo or its subsidiaries ]

The classic Nintendo franchise, Metroid, envisioned through the lens of 60s-70s science fiction cinema such as 2001, Alien, and Solaris: this was the concept for Rainfall’s most recent production. Instead of using a modern approach, a style was developed more in tune with the themes that inspired the first Metroid game in 1986: isolation, exploration, and the wonders of deep space.

We hope you enjoy our take on the adventures of Samus Aran."
