Knight of the Dead (2013)

This one took me for a surprise - I was expecting to laugh and roll my eyes throughout watching it but instead I became engrossed in the story and that was a pleasant surprise for me. I actually liked the film.I do wish the "Z" zombies would have been a little less at times and a little better than they were BUT it didn't take away from the actual story-line - and I know it is a "B" film (not a lot of money to make it so the "Z" zombies were easily overlooked by me in favor of the tale).I was routing for the Priest since the beginning... and he is the main/core character. The one guy who seemed very angry at the witch (the warrior) I thought would make it close or to the very end but that didn't happen. I wasn't sure about the other men in the group if some could make it out of there alive!! I'm not a big fan of zombies (only a small handful of zombie films I actually like) - but this zombie/knight film gave me another zombie flick I can actually enjoy watching. The dark gray, bleak atmosphere and a band of men with a goal did something for me - I enjoyed the watch.8.5/10

I'm a big fan of Knight movies and a sucker for anything with zombies in it, so as soon as I saw this I had to check it out. Basically it involves a small group of knights who have to escort a monk carrying the Holy Grail through a valley infested with zombies created by the Black Plague. That idea sounds awesome, but the movie never really gets going. None of the characters really get much depth added to them. The one character I was cheering for, gets killed halfway through and from there I was wondering where this movie was going. Beside fending off zombies, the group is followed into the valley by another group intent on revenge for one their number getting killed earlier. But why the leader feels so compelled to follow the knights over one death is never explained and even then he only takes one other man with him, despite having several others with him. The action scenes were okay for the most part, but nothing that stands out. It's not great, but it's a short enough way to divert your time if you have a spare 90 minutes, but don't expect much. This concept has so much potential but if you're after a great medieval zombie movie this isn't it.

I agree 100% with Sjaak Schulteis' review. This movie's appalling, in spite of a promising pitch: the Holy Grail moving through a zombie-filled valley of the shadows of death in the hands of fearsome knights? The plot could have been a killer. Alas! What a disaster. The lack of color, terrible acting, poor shooting (not even giving justice to the beauty of the surrounding landscape...), poor assembling and editing, and this overall, lingering, "this is a (dead-)serious movie so us guys, actors, need to act tough and avoid any hint of humor" feeling just got me worked up in the end, struggling to watch the whole atrocity. I did, eventually, but there was no redeeming for this lazy movie. Actors behave like they are wondering why they're on the set. The storyline never makes it to cruise speed. There is no suspense or challenge of any kind that makes it worth watching it to the end. A total collapse.

This was just so ridiculously dull. I couldn't even pay attention. The characters were boring, the plot was boring & the effects were awful. Even by low budget standards. I wouldn't recommend this.I can't even think of anything to fill in the 10 line minimum. Thoroughly disappointing movie. Don't waste your time. The sex scene was even disappointing & that's a difficult feat to achieve.Still not 10 lines. Well I can talk for England usually so the fact that I can't write a 10 line review says it all.Boring, dull, time wasting crap.1/10
