Here's the thing. The main/lead actors were god awful. No effort put in and sounded/looked as though they were reading the script for the first time there and then! Maybe they were? Clearly this was a money grab which is a shame because maybe this film could have been something had they put the effort, time but most importantly passion in. A fellow reviewer mentions the "bar scene". Yes, it was pretty awful but I thought the supporting artists (or extras) did a better job than the main cast. In fact, in all the scenes the extras did better. That's saying something. The main actors should be embarrassed of their panto- style acting. Why they were cast, who knows?! The camera work was shoddy and this whole film is offensive to indie film and passionate film makers. I'm only giving it a 4 because I know some (not all) of the extras actually put the work in and cared about the film.

well it hard to describe but the acting is atrocious, the CGI is as good as the acting, and the sound effects is as good as the CGI dragon. best description for this movie i can think of is a bunch of D&D LARP players with an actual script running around on bad mushrooms. good luck and may Cthulhu watch over you.

I love a bad movie, this is a bad movie, but not the sort to be enjoyed. It has taken elements that are currently popular and shoe horned them in to a movie very poorly. Even a porno version of Game of Thrones or Walking Dead (Series that this is trying to be) would have more story to follow than this.

I was initially hooked in by how awful the first scene was, it's truly awful but is funny. Slo mo was used on everything, someone had brought a camera that can do 120fps and they were making sure they were going to use it. There is a clip of the guy slipping on a rock in super slow mo only for it to turn out to be nothing… slipping on a rock…. totally pointless. This is how I felt about most of the content of this movie thereafter, it shows us something only for it to be pointless. There was loads of stock footage of bears and wolves in completely different environments adding nothing to the story (if you can call it that), just put in there for the trailer perhaps.

It feels like every part of this film was done on the cheap, like it was some sort of 'Challenge Anika' attempt, where they have 24 hours to make a film from start to finish with just the contents from an old garage to use as props and GCSE students to help out.

I did feel very sad at one point upon seeing the old Blue Peter presenter Tim Vincent had lowered himself to acting in the film. Part of me feels he was only brought in to exploit Blue Peter skills to make some of the paper mache props.

The biggest moment and shock in the film was that it's the first in a trilogy or at least it thinks it is. If they get the funding for another one of these, then everyone should buy themselves a camera with slow-mo functionality and have a go at making a truly terrible movie of their own.

In summary, it's bad, really really bad… seriously, just terrible.

This film was bloody awful. There's really no other way to describe it. Just bloody awful and that's putting it mildly. I mean how does something this amateurish and sad even get funded or distributed? It makes absolutely no sense. None of the actors, if you can call them that, had the talent of your local thespian playhouse. I truly believe someone went to their local bar after work and said "My brother just got this cool new digital camera. Ya'll wanna make a movie?". They must have spent the twenty they had for a budget on a twelve pack instead of expenses. Save your money, time or bandwidth and watch Conan the Barbarian for the fiftieth time instead. Trust me, you'll be much more entertained and satisfied.

I wish I could give this film a negative number of stars. Speaking as someone who goes looking for bad fantasy films to watch on purpose, this car crash of a film was so bad I wanted to gouge out my eyes with broken glass. So bad, it wasn't even entertaining.

Poor Ross O'Hennessey- his acting was like a paradisaical island in a sea of effluent, as all the other actors were awful. But you can't polish a turd, and that dialogue was a steaming pile of it.

CGI so awful they could have gained better results with sock puppets. Dialogue written by a three year old. Upbeat acoustic blues in ye olde tavern, played on a glossy guitar.

It looks like a bunch of GCSE media students put in all the things they like (zombies, knights, dragons, warrior women) in a blender and mixed them all up, but forgot how to work a camera or edit video.

It's like someone once heard a fantasy film described to them and thought, 'I can do that'. No. No, you really can't.

PS: I am under the distinct impression that anyone giving positive reviews are mates with the production crew. I'm surprised they have any who want to speak to them after this.

Unfortunately the production values of this overshadow any redeeming features of the plot (so much so that I couldn't find any). Most of the acting was wooden, with the exception of one or two of the main characters. Some of the effects were moderately good (notably the blood splatters), but the CGI dragon was not-so. The sound editor ought to be shot, with most of the dialogue being drowned out by the music or, when there is no music, too quiet to hear. When there is music, most of it is fitting - except for in the tavern, when some sort of silly pop ballad played (which, one would assume was being played by the bard at the inn, on his modern guitar). I also can't believe they were that worried about marking their furniture that they had green baize on the bottom of some of the cups. Fortunately, Cosmeston medieval village pulled off the best and most authentic bits of the setting, but sadly the castle that features towards the end has far too many modern fittings, lighting, cables and other acoutrements to make me take it seriously, at which point I just started laughing about how little attention to detail there was and the fact that the gardens were floodlit, and the corridors contained a gazillion uplighters. The odd use of some sort of Chinese spear by someone in western gear also stuck out as particularly jarring!

This was terrible! The cover looks amazing, really was hoping to have an amazing movie with my family but we were all disappointed. If you were thinking of watching it, I would say if you like shitty CGI, horrible acting, a shitty plot then this is for you but if you're not into that then do not watch it!!!!!

Watch the trailer:)

The special effects team behind harry potter, jurrasic world and suicide squad, lol that says it all.

I actually really enjoyed this film. Clearly had a smaller budget than others of a similar genre but I have to say they did a decent job putting together a film that ticked boxes. It pretty much does what it says on the tin. It's a straight to DVD movie that all in all had been put together rather nicely and the CGI work was actually rather nicely done. There was a decent amount of action. Well worth a watch.

In spite of all the hate on this board for Knights of the Damned, I watched it anyway and I ENJOYED IT. Is it a masterpiece? No it's not. Is it Academy Award acting? Nope. Is it a rousing good sword and sorcery kind of flick? Why yes it is! Personally, I'm looking forward to the sequel The Dark Kingdom coming in September. In a nutshell, I've seen far worse movies that I haven't enjoyed half as much.

Wooden acting, terrible special effects and a modern guitar being played in a medieval inn? But wait there's more! I have a number of dragon movies in my collection and as a fan I expect to see a truly awe inspiring form as it occupies the screen. What was this? A reanimated gargoyle? A bat on steroids? Good grief man what were you thinking? There was no attempt to even try to make this thing look authentic! And the accompanying special effects? In short? Terrible! Laughable! Look I don't like running down movies but if this was meant to be a cure for insomnia then it works. When one must start skipping through the movie to try finding good parts then there must be something seriously amiss. It wasn't believable and it was obvious that it wasn't.

Pretty low budget and boring fare about Knights fighting a dragon and zombies. If there's going to be a part II as the ending (?) suggests then I guess it's better than actors being out of work. But not by much.

This movie is truly godawful and I'd rather roll in sewage and human excrement than watch another millisecond

When I see people rating movies like this at 8 to 10 stars something isnt right. Casablanca, On the Waterfront, The Godfather, Amadeus, even Raiders of the Lost Ark. These are movies that should get 10 stars. Or something in a specific genre like western or sci fi. The Good The Bad and the Ugly or Total Recall I would rate high. But this garbage???? Come on!!!! What do you rate those movies if this is a 8 star movie. So you dig deeper and without exception every single person that thought this movie was great and gave plus 7 stars or more oddly registered with IMDB 4 months ago. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Hmmm, how odd. Possibly some fake reviews??? Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

I really tried to let this movie continue. I could see from the front this was going to be awful, but I didn't feel well and I was watching something I could fall asleep to. Then 18 minutes in the bar scene happened...I am a musician and a music teacher, that being said you don't have to be any kind of musician or teacher to appreciate how truly awful this scene is.

Whoa! This is a bad movie. Terrible faux Shakespearean dialogue highlights a movie with Amazons, dragons, zombies, dark evil, evil darkness and the dorkiest Prince ever to rule a kingdom. I can't wait to see the Rifftrax version. The real story might be what terrible secret does the maker of this movie know about the guy who selects films to stream on Hulu? And....why did I keep watching it?

Anyone who can independently fund, produce and release a film using a small budget deserves huge respect. Especially given the fact they have so little talent at their disposal.

I saw the 2.5 rating but I weighed that up against the idea of potentially seeing some "hot" amazon warriors fighting dragons. Who wouldn't like that?

Unfortunately those amazon warriors were about as convincing as the UK's current response to the Covid pandemic. I would urge people to avoid this film and frankly I've been too generous with my rating.

Why is it bad? Awful, awful sound, criminal acting, terrible script, painful and at times childlike direction and a meandering storyline that is just banal at best. Give it a miss and definitely under no circumstances pay to watch this.

If you made it past the 10 minute mark, your a better person than me.

For all its sins I had fun watching it and that's all that counts. I was a few beers in and saw this to rent, liked the trailer and thought lets give it a go. I had just watched Tremors and wanted some monster fun and that's what I got. Those female warrior girls are fierce, I could watch a whole movies on ladies. Go watch the trailer, if you like that sort of thing go watch it, if not go watch something else. Simple.

This is the first UK made, low-mid budget film I've ever downloaded for my phone/itunes.. and you know what.. I don't regret it.. I mean c'mon.. dragons, zombies.. ish, lots of fights all in 1 movie??.. this is a must own for all lovers of UK film

I want to start this review by saying that going into this film, I was ready to give it the benefit of the doubt as it's a low budget film trying something that could be considered ambitious. That being said, some flaws were inexcusable, saw as the writing. A lot of the dialogue felt stiff and completely fictionalized, as if the writers didn't actually hear themselves saying it out loud. This isn't help by a lot of the line delivery being patchy at best. Some scenes don't make much sense and some are completely unnecessary.

That all being said, I think there is an enjoyable experience to be found here. By no means am I planning to revisit this, at least not any time soon, however I did find myself enjoying parts of this. A lot of the action scenes were extremely interesting to me visually, with camera movements and sound effects used to add a real weight to it. The score also surprised me with how good and fitting it was to the film and it's setting. The film had some interesting ideas that didn't really get brought to their full potential, whether that's because of the horrendous CGI Dragon or the shoddy writing I don't know.

Regardless I think there's a good time to be had here if you just switch your brain off, take it for what it is, enjoy the few things it does well and laugh at the stuff it does badly. I feel my score of 4/10 represents this film perfectly.

Storyline had potential, but the acting was lackluster. I don't recommend this movie. I feel duped. I purchased this movie on Amazon instead of renting. Let the buyer beware.
