Right, and this is exactly what happens when you let people bring a video camera to a Civil War re-enactment event. Yup, that is exactly what "Kill Cavalry" felt like.
I must admit that when I sat down to watch this 2021 movie, despite of having seen the very low IMDb rating, I was expecting more of a proper movie with an actual storyline and you know, acting...
Instead, I was treated to some lousy Civil War re-enactment filming. And sure, I will say that the costumes and props definitely looked good and realistic, but that was about all the enjoyment there was to this "movie". People didn't even fall down to die or become wounded, but of course when people were firing all their weapons at an angle aimed well above the heads of any enemies, aiming at tree canopies, then of course, how can people die?
If you enjoy American Civil War movies, like I do, then you need to spare yourself the suffering and anguish that is "Kill Cavalry". This movie was just so horrible it is almost beyond words.
Needless to say that I didn't even make it past the first massive skirmish in the forest, where everyone was shooting at the trees, no one fell down dead, and everything felt like they were just shooting at nothing and nobody. Yeah, this was more than enough to make me lose absolute interest in the rest of the movie. It was just atrociously bad. And watching something that felt like a homemade video brought to a Civil War re-enactment event if not really within the scopes of my interest.
I am rating this abysmal thing of a movie a mere one out of ten stars, and that is solely based on the costumes and props. Sometimes things are better left on the drawing board.
