When I first saw the trailer for A Knight's War, I thought, "How did I miss this release?" It's a Canadian film which came out February 11 and is now available to stream on Prime Video. I immediately turned it on and thoroughly enjoyed this dark fantasy epic set against bleak landscapes full of horrific monsters.

This movie includes a lot of familiar fantasy tropes: there's a prophecy, a quest, a young girl given up in sacrifice, and the end of the world as the consequence for failure. The movie does a great job of presenting these well-worn ideas in intriguing ways, so my interest never waned.

The Chosen One is prophesied to be a young girl with red hair who cannot burn. She is revealed when her father tries to burn her and her mother alive. William (Matthew Ninaber) and Bhodie (Jeremy Ninebar), two brothers who are both knights, search for her.

A Knight’s War will be released on Blu-ray on April 15 via Epic Pictures’ genre label Dread.

The medieval horror-action-fantasy film arrived on Digital earlier this month.

Matthew Ninaber, best known for playing the titular extraterrestrial overlord in Psycho Goreman, writes and directs.

Upon arriving there he’s forced to make a deal with the entity known as The Keeper. That done, he quickly finds Avalon, and the objective...

Matthew Ninaber, best known for his role as the titular character in ‘Psycho Goreman,’ is set to entertain audiences again with his latest directorial effort, ‘A Knight’s War.’ This high-concept fantasy-horror film combines intense action, chilling horror, and an epic storyline.

Gabriel Carrer, known for ‘For the Sake of Vicious’ and ‘The Demolisher,’ contributed as assistant director, bringing his expertise in crafting visceral, gritty action to the project.

The film was produced by High Rise Studios and officially announced at the Cannes Market by Epic Pictures. High Rise Studios has built a reputation for delivering exciting, high-energy projects, and ‘A Knight’s War’ promises to be no exception. The first trailer for the project has been released and you can check it out below:

The next film from Epic Pictures’ specialty horror label Dread is A Knight’s War, a medieval horror movie coming to select theaters February 7 and VOD outlets February 11.

Exclusively watch the official trailer for Dread’s A Knight’s War below.

In the film, a fearless knight braves a deadly realm to save the Chosen One’s soul…

Facing witches, demons, and brutal foes, he discovers her return could ignite chaos and doom humanity.

A Knight’s War is written and directed by Matthew Ninaber. Jeremy Ninaber, Matthew Ninaber, and Kristen Kaster lead the cast.

Of particular note, Matthew Ninaber played the title character in Psycho Goreman!

“A Knight’s War is a testament to what can be achieved with passion, creativity, and an incredible team. This film holds a special place in my heart because of the sheer determination and effort that went into every aspect of its creation,” says director Matt Ninaber.

One of 2020’s goriest horror films was director Gabriel Carrer‘s For the Sake of Vicious, co-directed withReese Eveneshen. Now, the filmmaker is back with a solo effort, this time with the gory giallo-inspired slasher Death Cycle, and we’ve got exclusive images introducing the film’s maniac and his carnage.

The upcoming horror film is described as “a mix of classic giallo themes with the modern slasher genre.”

In Death Cycle, “After the death of her sister, a woman is visited by a man looking to solve a series of murders by a motorcycle-riding maniac. As their shared fear escalates, the killer’s rampage continues in the city, leaving them both questioning who the real monster is.”

While the fresh batch of images below don’t give away much, they do give us a good glimpse at the motorcycle riding maniac and enough viscera splattered across pavement to indicate an ultra-violent slasher ahead.

Directed and written by Matthew Ninaber (Transference, starred as the titular character “Psycho Goreman” in PG: Psycho Goreman), Death Valley stars Jeremy Ninaber (Transference),Ethan Mitchell (Transference)and Kristen Kaster (“If I Should Die”).The DVD will be available for an Srp of 27.97 and the Blu-ray will be available for an Srp of 28.96.

Here’s the scary trailer:

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into Death Valley. On the one hand writer/director Matthew Ninaber also wrote and directed the underwhelming Transference and Extraction Day. On the other hand, he was the guy inside the suit of the titular creature in one of my favourite films of the year, Psycho Goreman. So he should know a thing or two about making a practical monster movie, right?

Death Valley opens, not in the California desert as you might expect, somewhere in Eastern Europe as an unknown man flees an underground research facility going into lockdown. This leaves Dr. Chloe (Kristen Kaster) trapped inside. She sends out a distress call and grabs a fire axe to deal with whatever it is that we hear in the darkness.

Answering her...

When we first see the doctor, Chloe (Kristen Kaster), the alarm bells are already ringing. Literally. An evacuation order is sounding throughout the base, and she and a colleague are running for the exit. When he colleague falls, she keeps on going. Whatever lies behind them has terrified them both. But at the last minute, an unexpected incident causes her to fall short. Trapped, alone, and with only hours left to save her vital research, she sends out an urgent request for help.

Beckett and Marshall (Ethan Mitchell) have been best friends and comrades in arms for a long time. Unbeknownst to the latter, that’s about to come to the end, as Beckett’s wife has a baby on the way and he plans to settle down in a less dangerous occupation. First, however, their small mercenary team will take on this one...

It’s not Alien, but Bravo squad’s tangle with a mucus-coated scarer will keep you from dozing off after the pub

Oscars are probably not on the cards, but this is a decently mounted creature feature by Canadian director Matthew Ninaber, which has enough mucus-coated hijinks to make it worth 90 post-pub minutes. A team of mercenaries are airlifted into the country of “Bosvania” to storm a bioresearch compound and rescue a scientist who appears to be the sole remaining staff member. Nice guy Beckett (Jeremy Ninaber) and trash-talking sniper Marshall (Ethan Mitchell) are on Bravo squad, tasked with shielding Alpha from a unit of local militia in the surrounding woods. But “shit” goes south, and the pair are forced to take refuge inside, where something has been painting the walls a nice shade of scarlet.

Some weedy-looking airstrikes aside, Death Valley wears its low budget well, with the forest...

Death Valley: "Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, announced today that it will release the original film Death Valley in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand on Thursday, December 9.

Written and directed by Matthew Ninaber (Psycho Goreman), who also appears as the frightening monster in the film, the adrenaline-fueled action horror stars his brother Jeremy Ninaber (Escape the Dark), Ethan Mitchell (Escape the Dark) and Kristen Kaster (If I should Die).

When a secret experiment goes horribly wrong, bioengineer Dr. Chloe (Kaster) becomes trapped inside a secret underground facility. With only 24 hours before a fatal decontamination protocol destroys the entire lab, Chloe deploys an emergency distress signal before a terrifying creature (Matthew Ninaber) of unknown origin can consume what’s left of her.

Alerted by the distress beacon, battle-weary guns for hire, Marshall (Mitchell) and Beckett (Jeremy Ninaber) are...
