Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Excellent, smart action film.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

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

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.

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 !

There are many bad movies out there, but most have a disappointing, cliché setup to start with. This movie actually had the concept going for it. So cautious though I am with any title -of the dead, I did decide to give it a shot. Knights, the plague, zombies... works for computer games so why not a movie right? Wrong... I should have known better, I really should have. The acting is bad and cliché at best, special effects are absent so basically zombies are recognizable by either white faces or bandages. The whole movie is shown in a nearly colorless scheme, which though it works for some movies here just added to the overall feel of "low budget". The plot plays out exactly as you expect including all possible obligatory story progression.I write this 'review' just because I would have wanted a warning before I pressed play this morning, so there you are.

Modern zombie movies are so bland, there seems to be a new one every week, more bland and banal than the last. They tend to most be mostly a gimmick; running zombies, zombies that could shoot guns, or zombies set in a place we least expect it. And although this one falls into that last category, it does do a lot of good things.The movie starts off with a narration about the plague, and we are given a backdrop on the time frame this takes place in. We are introduced to group of knights and a priest on the hunt for the holy grail. Another group of raiders are hunting after the knights, presumably to take the grail for themselves. They take refuge into a valley, where the come across a "witch" stealing from them. The decide to use this witch to their benefit, using her to lead their way. As they journey into the valley, they are confronted by zombies; the hordes growing bigger as they continue onward. A couple of the knights are killed off, and the rest hide in a cavern. They believe they are safe, but are attacked by one of the knights turned zombie. They continue moving on, until only the priest and "witch" remain. The two spend the night in a cave, and become... closer, to each other. But, yet again, they are not safe. The raiders from earlier have tracked them down, and tie them up. The leader stabs the priest and leaves him off to be eaten by zombies, but he escapes in time. The witch tells the raiders she knows of an easier escape route, but leads them to a zombie pit. The priest makes a bow, and hunts after them. He and the leader of the raiders have a sword fight, this does not go on long as the Witch shoots him with the bow. The two make their escape from the zombies, and she shows the priest the true passage out; over a mountain. She shows she has been bitten, and the priest reluctantly kills her, and sets out to cross the mountain. When he makes it over, he lays down, thinking he is dying, but a horse appears not too far away. He climbs on it and rides off.Although not strong plot wise, this movie did have a lot of good in it. The acting wasn't flawless, but compared to a lot of the movies I watch it was Oscar material. The production is superb, well light and very crisp and clean look. The best part is the special effects, most notably the decapitations. The noises the zombies make are also very well done, they manage to be creepy and not the same "rawr" crap we're used to in these bad modern zombie flicks. Not a perfect movie by any stretch, but a worthwhile watch for any zombie fan.
