Knight of the Dead Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
J Pierre 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.
meritcoba "Why don't we shave your head?" Kristl asked Henry while she made a shaving gesture with her hands."What?" Henry backed away from her."Bald man are hot these days!""You mean bald ugly men." Henry gave Kristl a look of revulsion."At least he got to do the girl in the cave." Kristl smiled. "What has gotten into you! You on too much testosterone pills these days or what?""Just saying...""Just say it someplace else. Or inaudible.""Alright. Just you know.. I thought that you.., being a man.., would have liked to..""Do you think I stand a better chance when I am bald?" "And surrounded by flesh eating zombies (are there any other kind?)""Ah.""And in a cave.""Right.""Cause that is what got them all hot and bothered in the movie.""Right.""After you see all your fellow knights being shredded by zombies or turn into them and you end up with the only woman in the story your thoughts automatically turn to sex the moment you are alone with her in a cave. Just the right aphrodisiac: zombies and caves.""Enough! Let's get discuss the other parts of the movie. Like the cinematography. Did you like the way they shot it and the color scheme?""I liked the landscapes. There were some pretty great sights, but they bled the colors from the scenes too much if you ask me. Grey can be strong mood making color. But all the time? I would have added some colors just for diversity. Like sometimes a colorful plant in a grey landscape can have a strong surreal effect.""Yeah.. I liked the sights too. Also I liked the companions of the main guy. like that axe wielding guy. He looks interesting. And the introductory part of the movie is captivating. What would you call it? An animation?" Henry said."It was more like stills, but that part made it interesting for me to.""You know what is odd.. I didn't know it was about zombies. It had this moment of insight when I read the title: knight of the dead. I thought. 'of the dead', that is the way those zombie movies are called.""I had not thought of it either. I thought it was more about plague victims being scary. Like the first girl they meet. She is a plague victim, I thought, and they had to put her down because she went crazy because of the illness.""In hindsight. Would you have watched it if you had known?" Henry asked Kristl."I am not sure. There are too many zombie movies around. They get a bit lame. And a zombie movie set in the middle ages with knights could provide a new angle if properly handled, but to be honest, there is not much of anything special in this movie and as a zombie flick it lacks the horror and tension to keep it interesting. It is more like a group of knight wander aimlessly through a grey landscape for no apparent reason and get assaulted by very slow moving zombies and some guys that have a pick on them." Kristl said."Yeah.""Which brings us to the story and those other people chasing the knights. I really had no idea what it was about or why they chased those knights. In fact, I got the feeling they did not even know themselves.""What I found strange is that they kept on fighting each other after they were fully aware that they were being chased and surrounded by zombies. I do not know about you, but I would rather work together to get out than fight you." Henry said."It is a bit of a missed opportunity perhaps? They could have put together a group of unlikely people who have to get together to get out alive. Then the tension in the group between the people could be a factor. ""Yeah.. but nothing of that.""So, to wrap things up, what did we like about it?" Henry asked."I would say the landscapes and imagery. And some of the fighters looked cool. Even some of the fights were OK.""And the bald guy had a nice smile." Kristl admitted."Oh. having cave feelings?""You mean, smiling in a cave?""Uhuh." Henry nodded his head, "Sounds like the title of song.""Maybe one day..""See.""When surrounded by zombies… then… who knows.. I can force myself to smile." Kristl smiled.And Henry smiled to.This review with pictures and the intro of the movie is located here: www.meritcoba.com
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.
Sidney Tuttel van Dorst There are many bad movies out there, but most have a disappointing, cliché setup to start with. This movie actually had the concept going for it. So cautious though I am with any title -of the dead, I did decide to give it a shot. Knights, the plague, zombies... works for computer games so why not a movie right? Wrong... I should have known better, I really should have. The acting is bad and cliché at best, special effects are absent so basically zombies are recognizable by either white faces or bandages. The whole movie is shown in a nearly colorless scheme, which though it works for some movies here just added to the overall feel of "low budget". The plot plays out exactly as you expect including all possible obligatory story progression.I write this 'review' just because I would have wanted a warning before I pressed play this morning, so there you are.
