Movie & Film Review

DEVILS KNIGHT

By Allen Woodman

As a seasoned stuntman and stunt coordinator, I’ve seen my fair share of films, but "Devils Knight" from the MAHAL Empire is a wild ride that truly stands out! This campy romp through medieval mayhem is everything I love about cinema – a perfect blend of blood-soaked battles, mythical monsters, and a heaping dose of Monty Python-esque humor that had me laughing out loud.

Right from the start, it’s clear that the Mahal brothers, Sonny and Michael, are masters of creating offbeat horror films that are as unpredictable as they are entertaining. I wasn’t involved in this production, but oh, how I wish I had been!

The sheer joy of bringing this concept to life is palpable, and it's refreshing to see such unique storytelling in today’s movie market. Set in the ancient town of Veroka, where chaos reigns supreme as the nefarious Bone Devil wreaks havoc, the film introduces us to Sigurd, a deformed warrior played brilliantly by John Wells.

His haunting tales of terror captivate the locals and the audience, setting the stage for an adventure filled with betrayal, secrets, and a lot of bloodshed.

What I love most is how the film balances the grim and the goofy. It’s not just about the horror; it’s about the camaraderie and the absurdity of these bumbling warriors who think they can take down a beast as fearsome as the Bone Devil.

The humor is sharp and well-timed, providing much-needed fresh air amid the carnage. Kevin Sorbo shines as the King’s guard, channeling his inner medieval Hercules with a commendable and amusing seriousness, especially when he finds himself at odds with his comrades. As Lord Sussex, Eric Roberts adds an extra layer of charm with his devilish smirk and mischievous demeanor, while the dynamic between the characters keeps you engaged and entertained.

"Devil’s Knight" is a rollercoaster of excitement where every twist and turn leaves you eager for more. Its engaging plot, hilarious moments, and thrilling action sequences make it a must-watch for anyone who appreciates a good period piece that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

In summary, if you’re a fan of knights, demons, and dragons, coupled with a sprinkle of comedy and a splash of gore, "Devils Knight" is the film for you. Grab your popcorn and prepare for an unforgettable adventure that’s as fun as fierce!
