Phil Hoad Guardian Apr 7
3/5
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. Go to Full Review

A Knight’s War blends classic fantasy motifs and adds a dark, unique edge that’s visually gripping. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix Feb 23
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. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

3/5
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. Go to Full Review

Robert F @Robf25 Dec 8 Yes you can tell it's not a high budget movie, but it's not to far of in regards to effects, and what it lacks in budget it makes up for with original and compelling storyline. The whole good v evil theme is very well put together showing demonic tricks we all experience played out via characters. Honestly think this is a brilliant movie, would like a sequel!! See more Mert K Nov 21 Honestly, the movie feels authentic and not something where I could predict every scene. As a fan of the genre, I’ve gotta say it’s a real fresh era for this type of film. I’d definitely like to see more movies like this. See more Monsieur F @Monsieur_FU Oct 7 Interesting low budget sword & sorcery fantasy movie with mediocre acting, some well known set pieces and tropes, some lengths in the middle part, a small cast and a few different sets, but directed with heart and passion, very atmospheric, mostly good camera work and well edited. Feels like a group of cosplayers and DnD nerds realized a fantasy project and it’s quite solid and fresh with a lot of handmade effects, some gore and some digital after effects. If you like the 80s sword & sorcery movies give this Canadian production a try. See more Leo P Oct 5 This is a genre I love, but I can't recommend this film. The storyline is awful, the scirpt is weak, the acting is bad, the entire movie looks like it was filmed on a sound stage and overall production is as cheap as can be.. it's a sword and sorcery sci-fi film poorly done.. this might have worked if the entire story was rewritten.. They should have introduced us to the main characters better, make them more relatable, more human.. what are their motivations, hopes dreams, something, anything?? These characters are just actors with a script in their heads.. as an audience member, I don't believe I'm in another realm.. this genre, when done right, should transport the viewers elsewhere.. this film bores you to death, fails to impress in any category and leaves you frustrated for having wasted an hour and a half of your life.. The only positive thing I can say is I liked the costumes. See more Tyson C. @P.I.G Oct 4 Nothing too deep, but visually compelling and worth a watch. See more Jelisije J Sep 12 A very underrated fantasy medieval movie that brings a level of homage to the old school storytelling of classic medieval stories. See more Read all reviews
