The stage is set for retribution as an eclectic group is lured to a secluded European Castle under the guise of a promised "fantasy weekend." And as they read from an obscure storybook, a nefarious tale of avarice is reenacted for their entertainment.

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
blahblahblegh On the serious movie scale this movie wouldn't get more than a 2. Everything about this movie is horrible: Acting, directing, editing, writing. However, if you take everything with a grain of salt and treat it like The Room, you might actually find this movie quite funny and enjoyable.There is however, one problem with the reviews for this movie. The written reviews with 9 or 10 stars all appear to come from 1 person. 10 of the reviewed accounts are opened in July 2012, all leaving a 10 star review. Another 10 accounts that left 10 star reviews were opened over the course of a year. But all of them only have reviewed just this movie ( with the exception of 2. Those 2 accounts also reviewed an other movie Paul Sampson played in ).Still, I recommend this movie if you want a ridiculous movie to watch when you are drunk.
darkprincessofgrue I absolutely LOVE this movie! Seriously! It's fantastic! Paul Sampson did an amazing job with this film! It's interesting, keeps your attention, doesn't carry on hours longer than it should, and the cast in phenomenal! This movie just flows together perfectly! It's an indie film, but it was an indie film done right! In fact, it's one of few indie movies I've seen that doesn't have a boring story with plot holes at every turn... Which, from what I've seen, is hard to do, other wise this wouldn't be a one in a million film! Everyone worked so hard to put this together (Especially Paul)! There aren't enough stars on the board for it.
eddie_baggins Billy Drago in drag… its an image and a concept my brain is still to comprehend. Why did this happen? How? To what purpose does it serve and does it even matter? Perhaps it's just one of those things, a random occurrence in the cosmos sparked by dense imagination and/or slight comic perversion and displayed for our hesitant amusement.Let's face it, our brains are only so big and we can only use so much of them… and while it is sadly a fact that I may never understand the grand concept of John Bly as a cross-dressing chef who before too-long has his/her life ended by a Knight Templar in a modern American manor, I strongly advise using yours to track down this awkward, bizarre, perhaps knowing or perhaps serious (I couldn't tell) small-budget oddity. Your inner critic may not thank you for it, but sometimes its better to tell that cat to scram while you groove with your inner 12 year old instead.If you succeed in that, you'll have a lot of fun here.The plot revolves around great medieval knight Lord Gregoire, who having been betrayed by his own adviser and warriors for an abundance of gold and riches, vows that after these traitors revel in 10 lifetimes of excess he will exact his bloody revenge. How this happens and the situations that arise from it are too confounding to detail here, especially concerning the true identity of the damsel our (anti)hero hooks up with at the film's end (this is simply brilliant) and what exactly the core group of characters have gathered for so this foretold 'night of the templar' can begin. Among these characters is an unfit deviant fittingly named Henry Flesh, played by none-other than The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus, who engages in a particular scene that he will one day be able to show to his kids with pride.Other notable actors supporting this original material include the simply legendary Udo Kier (Flesh for Frankenstein, Blood for Dracula, Suspiria, Europa, Shadow of the Vampire) who, while spending a large portion of his screen-time walking and starring, pleasantly progresses into a vital role come the third-act and elevates the camp proceedings with his thick accent and undiminished persona, and equally legendary David Carradine (Death Race 2000, Kill Bill) who sadly passed away in 2009 after post-production. Given the subtle lunacy here its obvious that these great actors signed up not just to pay the bills, but because they could sense a journey that an open-minded viewer could truly revel in; featuring, as the tagline reads, passion, loyalty, deceit, betrayal…and revenge. They were right.I sat watching this movie prepared to enjoy it, thanks to the promise of swordplay, violence and performances from two of my favorite cult actors; what I wasn't prepared for was the brazenly ridiculous script peppered with cues that certainly succeeded in making me chuckle when I wasn't wincing, and of course Billy Drago in drag… … that one tangible element of creative abandonment.That one element that should prove to you, ladies and gentlemen, that while this isn't perfect, it's a rickety barrel-load of fun that can be savored for all the wrong reasons, and will no doubt cause you to involuntarily smile when bored at work or frustrated at school in the following days. Sometimes we are simply not meant to know how things are, a side-effect of our limited minds, so instead of wondering exactly what would inspire someone to make this film, wonder instead how many times you can watch Sampson as the "events coordinator" intensely comforting a distressed, shy girl by kissing her on the forehead and bravely declaring that Henry Flesh will never touch her again.And there's that involuntary smile.3 random trophy-filled shelves out of 5 For more movie reviews and opinions check out - www.jordanandeddie.wordpress.com
carlette-773-935975 I had never heard of this actor/director, Paul Sampson, until someone recommended him and his movie, Night of the Templar. The description and trailer peaked my interest and I invested in it because I support independent films. I absolutely loved it. Take heed: if you do not like CULT films, this may not be a good fit for you. The movie is obviously destined to join the list of cult film favorites! Paul Sampson delivers a memorable performance by endearing us to his dual roles, Jake and Lord Gregoire, immediately and doesn't let up throughout the film. Jake's persona grows in intensity as we see him begin to remember who he truly is. When some socialite chick tries to put Jake down for his line of work, we see the first glimpse of the confident Templar Knight was 700 years previously. Lord Gregoire was a valiant and brave warrior. In other words, he doesn't take any **** and we begin to see this personality develop in Jake. The resurrected souls he's come to seek revenge on don't stand a chance.Norman Reedus is great as a sleaze ball jerk womanizer and it's good to see him step outside of "nicer roles" such as "Daryl" whom we've come to know and love or the likable brother in Boondock Saints. Udo Kier was brilliant as the priest (not to mention, he looks GREAT) and Billy Drago is a scream as the cross-dressing house keeper/cook. David Carradine is his usual precious self as the shop keeper and we do get a chance to catch Sampson at his best both physically and acting-wise. The ironies between those found in the movie and those surrounding Carradine's death are uncanny to say the least which will also make this film a cult favorite if for no other reason. Sampson gets MAJOR kudos for producing such a high-end indie film and he is MORE than brave to have taken on the challenge of producing a medieval tale (in part) on an indie budget which could not have been an easy task and Sampson is to be highly commended for it. This is a great date night movie - your man will love the action and the hot chicks while your lady will love the plot and the male testosterone and eye candy. It's a win/win! I can't wait to see what Sampson has in store for us next. His range of acting is phenomenal and whatever he has in mind, I'm sure it will blow us away.
