Just what I expected

Good movie but grossly overrated
Sarita Rafferty
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

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.

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

What a load of rubbish - Worst film this year ARGHHH ORRGGH by a mileMy partner fell asleep after 2 minutes and woke up at the end. Did i miss anything she said ? - NO not really, in fact not at all.Some movies are so bad they become good - this movie is so bad it will just go on getting worse for everPlot - (what do zombies say again ?) What plot ? Acting - ORRRR ARGGGGG ERRRRRR - lets all run, - what acting ? Budget - how on earth did they get one ? ORRRR ARGGGGG ERRRRRR Even the scenery didn't bother to turn up. Most films are in colour , some black and white , there's a very good reason why 50 shades are grey aren't popular :)For those of you really interested here's the plotHello i've come to collect the Holy grail - oh all right here it is - please leave my pizza over there Thanks,- bye then - you can die now (even though you looked fine when we arrived) Must have been the anchovies ! and it just gets better and better ORRRR ARGGGGG ERRRRRR.Maybe the original Welsh version was better LLLORRR LLLARGGG LLERRR.If you asked a bunch of 5 year old kids to make a zombie movie - they'd do better - a lot better. I wouldn't even use this movie as a place to put my mug of coffee on !

Modern zombie movies are so bland, there seems to be a new one every week, more bland and banal than the last. They tend to most be mostly a gimmick; running zombies, zombies that could shoot guns, or zombies set in a place we least expect it. And although this one falls into that last category, it does do a lot of good things.The movie starts off with a narration about the plague, and we are given a backdrop on the time frame this takes place in. We are introduced to group of knights and a priest on the hunt for the holy grail. Another group of raiders are hunting after the knights, presumably to take the grail for themselves. They take refuge into a valley, where the come across a "witch" stealing from them. The decide to use this witch to their benefit, using her to lead their way. As they journey into the valley, they are confronted by zombies; the hordes growing bigger as they continue onward. A couple of the knights are killed off, and the rest hide in a cavern. They believe they are safe, but are attacked by one of the knights turned zombie. They continue moving on, until only the priest and "witch" remain. The two spend the night in a cave, and become... closer, to each other. But, yet again, they are not safe. The raiders from earlier have tracked them down, and tie them up. The leader stabs the priest and leaves him off to be eaten by zombies, but he escapes in time. The witch tells the raiders she knows of an easier escape route, but leads them to a zombie pit. The priest makes a bow, and hunts after them. He and the leader of the raiders have a sword fight, this does not go on long as the Witch shoots him with the bow. The two make their escape from the zombies, and she shows the priest the true passage out; over a mountain. She shows she has been bitten, and the priest reluctantly kills her, and sets out to cross the mountain. When he makes it over, he lays down, thinking he is dying, but a horse appears not too far away. He climbs on it and rides off.Although not strong plot wise, this movie did have a lot of good in it. The acting wasn't flawless, but compared to a lot of the movies I watch it was Oscar material. The production is superb, well light and very crisp and clean look. The best part is the special effects, most notably the decapitations. The noises the zombies make are also very well done, they manage to be creepy and not the same "rawr" crap we're used to in these bad modern zombie flicks. Not a perfect movie by any stretch, but a worthwhile watch for any zombie fan.
