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.

Instant cult classic! Hope they follow it up with some spinoffs and reveal more lore.

This movie falls short on story, dialogue, and keeping viewers awake. The four star review on prime to me was way, way, way off. Granted the film had some good fight scenes and costumes were pretty good considering the budget. However, I cannot recommend anyone to watch this film unless you have insomnia.

Decent fantasy movie with good casting and fight scenes. Ending could have been better, but worth watching for sure.

For all dark souls fans, and movie goers who don't need to take their movies too seriously, this was a joy to watch. This lower budget film went and did more with less in regards to action scenes and set design. The cast all played their characters extremely well and with modern movie's low low bar of having literally ANY character development, this feature went above and beyond. Set with the standard fantasy/dark souls plot and twists, I came in with expectations and left with them satiated. Props to the writers, director, and cast for staying so simple and entertaining at the same time.
