I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

A different way of telling a story

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Filmed in Utah, with lots of sand, caves, and huge rock formations.Prehistory: the Gods, on some planet, at some time, have put down civilization for some reason, and killed a big portion of humanity. The Order, led by the Prophets, tries to restore civilization, while the Shadow rises and awaits the awakening of the God of Death. So, we have a familiar environment for swords, sorcery, battles, revenge, and conflicts on a dying world.We open the narrative with a fight between the female elf bounty hunter Nemyt and the male orc thief Fangtor Bloodmoon. Nemyt kills Fangtor, but Fangtor curses her body as she delivers the fatal blow with her sword. The fight scenes here were absolutely terribly done. Meanwhile, Keltus interrogates a dwarf to discover the motives of the Shadow in the current conflict. The dwarf tells him of Kullimon's Raiders, who will deliver some artifact ('the Vessel') to the representatives of the God of Death. Among the orcs, Mulgrut and Kullimon have a bit of a disagreement. Kullimon loses, and Mulgrut takes leadership of the 'Horde' of ten orcs. Oi, totally disappointing.When Nemyt goes to collect her bounty reward, she is imprisoned by the local magistrate because of the Mark that Fangtor cursed her with. Keltus, the Ambassador of the Prophetess, releases her in the hopes that she will aid him find the Bone Vessel. On the way, they meet up with Kullimon, who has been tied up, bleeding, and left for dead by his erstwhile allies. The absurd trio advance to get the Vessel, so that the God of Death (Goth Azul) is not awakened.As they advance, they encounter difficulties, and best them, but usually with stiff prices. When Nemyt meets Mulgrut as representative of the Shadow, things get very dicey, very fast. The real representative of the Shadow appears, and the hopes of Goth Azul being kept contained slip away.Will the trio reverse the disaster at hand? -----Scores-----Cinematography: 7/10 Rather good for this sort of tale. The costumes were a bit better than I expected, at least here and there.Sound: 10/10 Amazingly good. I seldom experience fantasy films with such excellent musical accompaniment.Acting: 5/10 The actors who play the three protagonists hit their marks and speak their lines, but acting? Not so much. The orc Horde was about as convincing as the Keystone Kops.Screenplay: 6/10 Yikes. A story was told, and the plot moves along, but the dialog is stilted past the point of believability. Orcs taking the higher moral stances? An orc leader singing like he was on Wagon Train? An orc sounding like Yoda? -----The film did grow on me, especially the last 15 minutes.

Considering that Curse of the Shadow was shown on the SyFy Channel, expectations were relatively low. However, while Curse of the Shadow is no masterpiece in any shape or form, for a low-budget fantasy movie I found it pretty good and by far one of the best movies aired on the SyFy Channel in recent memory. It doesn't look bad at all for low-budget fantasy, the scenery is colourful and really quite gorgeous, the special effects are not overkill and are well-modelled and easy-moving, the costumes certainly don't look cheap-fancy-dress-quality and the make-up is very good especially for the Orcs. With the photography too it was mostly fluid and does evoke a sense of wonder, apart from some slow-motion overuse. The music is rousing, haunting, beautiful, energetic and mysterious on numerous occasions, not quite perfect mind as it does have a tendency at times to be too loud and drown out the dialogue. The script was better than anticipated, the dialogue at least wasn't too simplistic or too wordy and apart from the odd awkward-sounding moment understanding what was happening- especially compared to a lot of other low-budget movies of this genre and others seen recently- wasn't so much a problem. In fact the interplay between the central characters was quite witty, though the coolest lines came from James C. Morris' character. The story was engaging, the fantasy world was both wondrous and foreboding, the numerous fantasy creatures were really fun to spot and were well-designed, and the witty dialogue and likable characters- Kullimon being the most interesting- keep things moving along nicely. True, it is not the most original story on the block but it didn't seem too carbon-copy, and there were few if any scenes that felt irrelevant, while lengthy the prologue did get to the point. The action sequences, all of which were reasonably well-paced, were mixed execution-wise, some had spirited choreography, suspense and passion, others were let down by characters after being wounded acting very soon like everything's all right and some random, cyclical placement. The climax did feel a tad underwhelming, again it was spirited and passionate but also rather drawn-out pace-wise and the lack of believable peril diluted the suspense, if it was more epic and less convenient it may have helped a little. The characters are likable at least and while not fully-fleshed out the movie does do enough to allow us to care for them, the pacing flows well generally and the directing is credible. The acting isn't perfect with the female having the odd one-note occasion but is still reasonably good, Paul D. Hunt is very enjoyable as Kullimon. Overall, not great but a very pleasant surprise. 7/10 Bethany Cox

I'll say this right off the bat: This is a low-budget film, and it can't be entirely faulted for that. The kind of pitfalls you would expect from a low-budget movie are all here: Cheesy effects, poor makeup, limited sets, over-processed visuals (as a result of limited sets).Normally, these things would be forgivable if the acting, story, choreography, and cinematography outshine them. In this case, they simply do not.Everything you see in the first 5 minutes lets you know exactly what you're in store for. A terrible CGI dragon is being ridden by an orc in very unconvincing makeup. The orc is shot down by an elf with the cheapest color contact lenses this side of your local mall, and a fight scene ensues. This is where you see the combination of poor direction and framing coupled with extremely inept choreography. Hell, there's a point in the first fight scene where you can CLEARLY see the elf MISS her kick to the orc's face by about a foot, and he still grunts and flies backwards as if it connected. That's the kind of thing you either re-shoot or cut in post.This is the kind of quality you might expect to find in a feature-length YouTube production -- though that might be insulting to some of the more accomplished YouTube content producers.

Having watched pretty much every fantasy film ever made, Curse of the Shadow is surprisingly good. Although fairly low-budget, with no major actors to speak of, it makes up for this with extremely good photography, outstanding make-up effects and exciting action scenes. The effects are also quite good. Vivid CGI depicts dragons, wyverns and other fantastic beasts.Dialogue is a stilted at times and the simplistic story becomes overly complicated. The story could have used more fleshing out and less annoying dialogue scenes that just stand to pad out of the story. Danielle Chuchran is surely and one-note as the elven bounty hunter, while most of the film's genuine moments come from Richard McWilliams as the cleric warrior. American actors seem to be unable to take this type of fantasy seriously and end up looking like they are in a bad LARP adventure.All in all, this movie was reasonably entertaining. Well crafted and done with obvious affection for the genre. Check it out if you have a chance.
