Name of this Movie - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Can someone help me. I remember watching a movie with a lady in a spider web, who controled time through a hourglass. She had given a baby up at birth. In the end she broke the hourglass and a giant spider ate her and her lover. I know it was a story of a group of people on a quest for something. There was magic in the movie, as well.

Sobieskimom,

I believe that the movie you are remembering is Krull, a 1983 movie directed by Peter Yates.
Krull (film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

The lover would have been Ynyr the Old One (played by Freddie Jones). The lady in the spiderweb would be the Widow of the Web (played by Francesca Annis), who was an enchantress who loved Ynyr long ago and whose terrible crime exiled her to live within the lair of a giant spider. Her giving aid to Colwyn (the hero) and his party caused the giant spider to turn on her, resulting in both her, and Ynyr's deaths.

Colwyn goes on to rescue Lyssa (his bride) and destroy the Beast that is threatening their land.

I hope that this was the movie you were thinking about.
