CommentsXp Best movie ever!
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Nicole 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.
Freelancer490 I'm a big fan of Knight movies and a sucker for anything with zombies in it, so as soon as I saw this I had to check it out. Basically it involves a small group of knights who have to escort a monk carrying the Holy Grail through a valley infested with zombies created by the Black Plague. That idea sounds awesome, but the movie never really gets going. None of the characters really get much depth added to them. The one character I was cheering for, gets killed halfway through and from there I was wondering where this movie was going. Beside fending off zombies, the group is followed into the valley by another group intent on revenge for one their number getting killed earlier. But why the leader feels so compelled to follow the knights over one death is never explained and even then he only takes one other man with him, despite having several others with him. The action scenes were okay for the most part, but nothing that stands out. It's not great, but it's a short enough way to divert your time if you have a spare 90 minutes, but don't expect much. This concept has so much potential but if you're after a great medieval zombie movie this isn't it.
shawnblackman A priest has to get The Holy Grail across a valley during the Black Plague. The plague is a horde of medieval zombies.This thing had awesome locations, and a potentially cool idea, but then screwed it all up. The first annoying factor is the grey dull tinge they give to the picture. I know they want to create a mood but it just makes people think their TV is on the fritz.The acting wasn't bad, the effects on the other hand were CGI crap. Another thing that ticked me off was they had to kill them by removing the head, or by damaging the brain. All through the film they show countless little gut stabs that finish off these zombies. So what gives? Maybe it was a time issue or continuity.Not very good at all. You don't really care what happens after about half of an hour.
t-rexx-568-196825 I agree 100% with Sjaak Schulteis' review. This movie's appalling, in spite of a promising pitch: the Holy Grail moving through a zombie-filled valley of the shadows of death in the hands of fearsome knights? The plot could have been a killer. Alas! What a disaster. The lack of color, terrible acting, poor shooting (not even giving justice to the beauty of the surrounding landscape...), poor assembling and editing, and this overall, lingering, "this is a (dead-)serious movie so us guys, actors, need to act tough and avoid any hint of humor" feeling just got me worked up in the end, struggling to watch the whole atrocity. I did, eventually, but there was no redeeming for this lazy movie. Actors behave like they are wondering why they're on the set. The storyline never makes it to cruise speed. There is no suspense or challenge of any kind that makes it worth watching it to the end. A total collapse.
steve brown 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 !
