Seriously, why all the awful reviews?

I rarely write movie reviews, but I mostly do when I feel that a movie is either unnecessarily praised, or excessively denigrated. "Knight of the dead" is the latest. Seriously, this movie was rated worse than "Sharktopus" on IMDb?!?

This is your typical B-movie way of making movies. Low-budget, actors you never heard of, cheesy and cheap FX... But this movie is really positively surprising. Low-budget, that's for sure, but there is still a guaranteed minimum of gore (with mutilations, guts, blood, you know the drill). Also, the landscape is absolutely stunning. You never get bored watching this 1h18min movie, mostly filled with bandit raids or zombie attacks. And the zombie makeup is pretty well-made: not at all times, but it does the job.

Of course, there is some bad CGI from time to time (creating full hordes of zombies, or adding blood), but it's far from being REALLY annoying, and believe me, I HATE CGI. That is still a bit of a shame.

All in all, what can be said about KOFD? Cheap b-movie. Crazy concept. But still fast-paced, gory and fun. Recommended for anyone into zombie movies.

Trivia
Raphael's back somersault stunt from the ledge was rehearsed and performed without the use of wires, safety mats and rubber weapons. No stunt doubles were employed. It was implemented on the day after the main parts of the fight had been shot.

Goofs
When they have escaped the cave, Anzo goes to look out over the cliff. His battle ax goes from on his back to in his hand to on his back again in the different frames.

Quotes
Badriyah: Get on with it, before he dies!
Leuthar: Oh, God, great unconquerable invincible king, victor ever glorious, who did hold in check the forces bend on dominating us, who did overcome the cruelty of the raging enemy, who did in Thy power break down the wicked foe, humbly we besiege Thee in prayer to Thee Lord. Look upon this water with favor which Thou has created, shine upon it with the hue of Thou light, shine upon it with the light of your love and sanctify through the due of your kindness, so that, through the invocation of His holy name, wherever this water goes may turn aside every attack of unclean spirit and dispel the terror of death, Amen.
[finally gives the water to the bitten man]
