One of the worst movies I've ever seen

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

With the exception of some lovely Snowdonia locations and a couple of decent costumes, while not the worst zombie movie out there(Vampegeddon, Zombie Night and Dead Men Walking for examples are far worse) Knight of the Dead is a disaster. The special effects are wisely sparsely used but that wasn't an excuse for them to be as cheap as they were- yes even for the budget the movie had, they looked hastily slapped together and made-at-last-minute quality. The gore and decapitations looked silly and felt excessive at times, and there is no better news about the photography and lighting, which takes bleak to extremes to the extent some of the action is not easy to see and there is the very odd effect of the zombies' heads looking like they were floating like balloons. Aside from a couple of the costumes(not all, others did look fancy-dress remains), there was very little sense of the medieval atmosphere or atmosphere in general. The script certainly sounds like a rough draft and has so much cheese it makes the eyes roll. Again it doesn't very little like how medieval speak, a lot of it is very bad modern talk that fails to make sense. The characters are basically archetypes lacking in any kind of personality and development, plus they annoy with how nonsensical a lot of their actions are, and the acting is very going-through-the-motions and mannequin-like from the whole cast with no spontaneity or enthusiasm whatsoever. The worst thing to me was the story, which is so thin it's barely there and it's made worse by a pace that begs for a steroid shot of a very large dosage, some slower-paced scenes barely even move. The scenes with the zombies are very under-populated, the horror is cheaply done and predictable that they are no scares, the movie is far too dull to be fun and it is difficult to be excited when everything just seems so half-hearted. To me as well, the medieval vibe and the use of zombies had a very two different movies feel which was really jarring. To conclude, not the worst zombie movie out there but apart from two halfway-decent things is a disaster. 2/10 Bethany Cox

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 !

I should start by saying I am a big fan of Zombie and Post-Apocaliptic movies, and when I heard about this one, it sparked my curiosity.I read a review here saying it was a refreshing movie, different style than the million zombie titles made in the recent years.It was a total disappointment...Yes, the setting was different from what we usually see in zombie movies, but the story is quite weak, the acting is as good as the story and there is no explanation or a proper ending.The cinematography is good enough and there is little CGI, which could be a good thing seeing the abuse of it in the new movies, but still, doesn't add up to being a good movie.I wouldn't recommend it.
