About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, fast medieval adventure with supernatural scares and a simple quest, similar in spirit to The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor; Not for you if you need historical accuracy or subtle storytelling.
Pros: spooky medieval atmosphere; buddy-knight banter; brisk runtime | Cons: messy writing; uneven acting energy; cheesy effects finale
