Freelancer490 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.
Jeet Punjabi As a fan of the Zombie film genre, I'd like to rate this film as one of the biggest disaster ever made. The movie starts with 5 knights and a priest setting off from God knows where, to going really God knows where. All you will see in the film is hills & mountains. Majority part of the movie you will be wondering who is the hero of the movie. I gave up when i actually found out. But i just watched it till the end, just to know if it made sense in the end at all. It didn't. Nothing was explained, there seemed no logic, and the movie didn't have colors either, it was kinda black & white and a few shades of grey, lol. Seriously don't waste your time on it. Even the illogical make out scene was not worth it.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "Knight of the Dead" was bad, no doubt about it. And you have that sense of impending boredom and doom lurking about you right from the very start.The storyline in the movie was next to non-existing, and it was weak at best. And the movie wasn't really helped much along by having one-dimensional characters that lacked personalities and any level of worth to make you care the least bit about them."Knight of the Dead" is filmed in very dull and earth-tone colors, which was kind of interesting enough, as it did help to paste the image of a bleak and gloomy world set in the middle ages where zombies roam around the countryside. However, it just got to much in overall, because you sit there and want to see more colors in the movie eventually.One of the better things in the movie was the the costumes. They looked nice enough and had some fairly interesting and nice touches to them.The acting in the movie was adequate. Mind you, it wasn't mind-boggling, award-winning or outstanding in any memorable way. But people did good enough with the jobs they were giving. They were just fighting an uphill battle against a storyline with virtually no proper plot or meaning whatsoever.There is a little bit of gore throughout the movie, but hardly enough to satisfy gore-hounds and fans of the zombie genre. And it is most definitely not enough to make up for the ghastly lack of storyline.You would think that zombies in the middle ages would make for a good setting, and you would be right about it, but not everything that glitters is gold, and this movie sure wasn't that! "Knight of the Dead" is boring and rather pointless. The movie never really got up in pace, but just trotted straight ahead in a dull pace, never working up any kind of excitement or scares.
ampbr I should start by saying I am a big fan of Zombie and Post-Apocaliptic movies, and when I heard about this one, it sparked my curiosity.I read a review here saying it was a refreshing movie, different style than the million zombie titles made in the recent years.It was a total disappointment...Yes, the setting was different from what we usually see in zombie movies, but the story is quite weak, the acting is as good as the story and there is no explanation or a proper ending.The cinematography is good enough and there is little CGI, which could be a good thing seeing the abuse of it in the new movies, but still, doesn't add up to being a good movie.I wouldn't recommend it.
