A Knight's War

From start to finish - the action doesn't stop. The gore is great and the story line rolls well. The craziest part - I've heard it was shot in the directors backyard. There is nothing like independent films being made the way they used to be.

Without directors/writers and actors like Matthew, the movie independent movie industry would fall short. It's his renegade style and confidence to pull off such a movie that is rather impressive.

Please, give the movie a go, I'm sure you will be as impressed as I was with the style in which the movie was shot.

Be warned, it's not for kids. The gore and storyline are well passed the age of those under 18.

Enjoy!

The atmosphere of this movie reminds me of Hercules The Legendary Journeys meets Dark Souls. And as someone who's a fan of both I think that's awesome!

I'm not sure who pissed in the cheerios of the people hating on this movie giving it 1-Star. I'm sure they're a joy to have at party's. "ugh, can you believe Rachel's choice of music, it's atrocious." Give me a break, at least this film is trying to break away from the mainstream conveyer belt b.s.. I would rather spend my money renting this than $350M Captain Falcon Lame New World slodge.

If you like fantasy, particularly Dark Fantasy, this is enjoyable so long as you're aware that you're going into a lower budget indie movie doing the best it can with what it has.

My likes for this film:

• The witches performance and costume design were phenomenal. Terrifying yet elegant. Makes you want to stare and run at the same time. Truly Souls Bossworthy.

• I did like the plot a lot. It was simple and while a little formulaic at times I appreciated this particular mixture of narrative elements. And the twists were clever even if familiar. If you see them coming, good for you. Have a cookie.

• I think Bhodie and Avalon had good chemistry. They complimented each other well and worked best when they performed as a team.

• I thought the fight scenes were mostly well done.

• Bhodie had some good one-liners.

My Dislikes:

• Obviously this move is on a budget but a little more world building and a bit more character introduction. Felt information was missing at times and took a while to get familiar enough with Bhodie to finally root for him.

• Pacing was okay but it felt kind of like a Two Act movie. I think it may have benefited from a beefier middle act. Which if I'm left wanting more of the movie, I guess that's a good impression.

So overall it was worth my time and my money. I'm happy to support ann ambitious indie film that breaks away from the mainstream. If you're a Medieval Fantasy fan and set your expectations realistically it's enjoyable.

This film is ambitious, it's atmospheric, moody and serious. The costumes are beautiful, the sets and locations are too. The cinematography, score and CGI helps with building this world, and the actors were great.

The flaws: this film needed some early critical editing to the story. There was potential for a unique fantasy world to emerge, but I think what we saw was a patch job of various narrative tropes mixed together.

I think clarity, directness, and the courage to propose/build one's own fantastical world would have had a more weighty creative impact on the viewer and it would have helped immerse oneself into someone else's imagination.

I do not want to discourage anyone from seeing this movie! It is incredibly impressive what can be done by motivated creatives, and it's still very fun. Give it a shot if you have the opportunity!

I was pleasantly surprised on how well made this movie was. Realistic armor, great CGI, choreography that made sense. Those are all things that you hardly ever see later.

The practical effects instead of just using CGI made it even better as it just feels like a dying art more and more it was a breath of fresh air.

Art direction itself was fitting to the story.

Acting wasnt stunning but also wasnt hard to watch.

Story: While it wasn´t anything groundbreaking and could do a bit better on worldbuilding. It was still enjoyable and made sense.

All in all I am happy to recommend this movie to friends and would love them to create more like this.

I love this type of movie,so I'm possibly it's target audience...I simply cannot agree with the 1 star reviews,they seem hostile for the sake of being hostile. Its not up there with the likes of Excalibur,but like another review suggested,more like a slightly lower budget Solomon Kane. Wish there was more action,but the story flows pretty well, decent special effects for the low budget. Acting was solid nothing oscar worthy but it gets the job done...Now,makes me want an actual sequel or reboot to Solomon Kane....and again those 1 star reviews are beyond ridiculous,it's nowhere near that bad, straight in the bin with them.
