With its sisyphean vibe and implacable mood, it also owes a fair bit to the Dark Souls video games; though it’s not a masterpiece on that level, it nevertheless has a grim self-conviction that grips despite its low-budget limitations.

Rated: 3/5

A Knight’s War blends classic fantasy motifs and adds a dark, unique edge that’s visually gripping.

A Knight's War might satisfy viewers who like playing generic fantasy video games. Cinematically, the movie falls very short. The visuals are impressive for this low-budget film, but the performances and dialogue are flat and soulless.

Keith & the Movies

What impresses most is the way Ninaber and company do so much with so little...The production design, costumes, makeup, visual effects – it’s all a striking testament to the vision, vehemence, and virtuosity that drives the filmmaking.

Rated: 3.5/5

A Knight’s War is an exciting fantasy adventure that is a much needed breath of fresh air. It does not try to reinvent the wheel because it does not have to. It delivers longtime fans exactly what they have been craving.

This horror/fantasy mashup conjures up some gruesome delights, but often feels like the playing of a Dungeons & Dragons module -- and not a particularly original one.

Rated: 3/5

The effects, sets, wardrobe, etc are all pretty solid, but it's overshadowed by weak, cheesy dialogue, C+ acting, and a goofy story.

A souls-like movie about jolly co-operation, this is as close as we'll get to a Dark Souls movie until A24 finishes Elden Ring. Dialogue could be more engaging and not just a long set of instructions. A little more emotion and less whispering would be great, but the dry delivery still makes it feel even more like NPCs in the hub.

It is a well written movie that is rare to find. A gem that is hidden.

This movie starts to fast and a lot of the dialogue feels forced. It would have been a much better project with a bit more of a budget behind it.

Not a bad movie, but if your trying to do a fantasy movie slash video game fantasy movie. Because you know everyone nowadays will always go to the video game style of fantasy that this movie was trying for, it could of used more markup efexs, like the demons with more visceral looks, sharp teeth, more suffering look not just blood and a mask. Maybe play this style of game that you where trying to set this movie after and I know, maybe you didn't try to set your movie after a game but maybe you should have. Everyone that watches this movie today and because most people nowadays has played or is a gamer, will compare this movie to a game. If games are better then movies now a days then why would anyone and that's most of people that would watch this kind or style of movie watch or like your movie? I'm not talking ahit on this move because im an artist not a movie producer but from what I saw there was alot that could of been done to make this move a 90% hit to people or gamers, instead of a 59 and it was ok and could have been better with a little more e ffort.
