KNIGHTS OF THE DAMNED is another no budget indie fantasy flick made in Britain with an unknown cast giving pretty terrible performances. The whole thing is a complete waste of time unless you're a MASSIVE, MASSIVE fan of independent cinema, in which case you might get a kick out of it if you can overlook the terrible wooden acting from the leads and the intrusive music. Things begin with a CGI dragon straight out of a cartoon and move into the usual grunting, shaky-camerawork brawling and sword fights. The writing is as poor as it gets, and there's nothing memorable about this at all.

The medieval-like kingdom of Nazroth is annoyed by a CG fire breathing dragon. The king sends out his 12 best knights to kill the dragon, but due to budget constraints 8 are already dead and one falls off a cliff so we are down to three. No need to worry about the dead knight for long because a man who looks like a voodoo witch doctor brings him and other dead people back to life so we can have knights, zombies, and dragons. There are Sirens who don't sing and some female warriors.

The worst scene was the inn/tavern also called "a bar" in the film. The dialogue, acting, and fight choreography was laughable. The whole film had a "so bad it was good quality." It includes Ed Wood type of snips of wild bears. Who gives their girlfriend a spear and tells her to go kill a bear? Don't worry dear, I'm right here in case you don't kill it armed with a knife? The zombies were called "fury", generally a better name for a dragon, which made it confusing when I first heard it. The village people become zombies, or fury and at times foot drag and other times sprint. Some use weapons, most do not, whatever Simon Wells felt like at the moment. The king was downright awful. And the really bad news is Simon thinks so much of this film he is making not one, but two sequels.

Guide: No swearing sex or nudity.

Directed by Simon Wells it's the film set before the brilliantly entertaining but no less poorly made Dragon Kingdom. Entertainment value this one was worse and the acting is as bad as ever, if you like good bad films give it a shot but otherwise don't bother.

1/10: There's no quality here
