At first I was going to applaud this movie. I mean, how many low-budget movies set in medieval times do you know? It however then soon started to become obvious this wasn't at all going to be a movie that was set at medieval times. Instead it's something completely different and the movie itself is actually mostly set in modern times.

And to be frank; most of the time I had absolutely no idea what was going on in this movie. It has a messy story and approach to it. What was this movie supposed to be exactly? A comedy? A slasher? A fantasy movie? This movie has a bit of everything in it, only not mixed together that very well.

And really, as purely a slasher this movie still had some potential in it. It's a shame this movie just never really fully goes into that direction with its approach or story.

The story as it is, is mostly going nowhere. At least not for its first half. You just don't know where the movie is going at and what it is trying to tell you with its main plot line and all of the seemingly random characters involved. It makes this somewhat of an odd and hard movie to watch but luckily it still has some entertainment going for it.

The movie luckily doesn't take itself too seriously, and so shouldn't its viewers. Because of this approach and style, the movie never becomes a boring, or offensively bad one but that's about the most positive thing I can say about this movie.

And isn't it funny how David Carradine, almost 4 years after his death, keeps popping up in movies. This isn't even the final movie he'll show up in but it is indeed one of his absolute final roles. It should also tell you something about the quality of this movie, that apparently this movie had been shelved somewhere for years, before it finally got some form of distribution.

It's probably also somewhat due to this movie being a hard sell. It's really doing its own thing and it's hard to compare it to anything else really. It sounds like a positive thing maybe but in this particular case it wouldn't had hurt the movie if it was being a bit more standard and formulaic with both its approach and main story.

It still is apparent this movie got made with all of the right intentions but it's an obvious and simple fact that none of it ever really works out very well.

This most definitely isn't the most original genre movie around but I do admit, that for of a movie of this sort and caliber, which such a low budget, this is a pretty good watch!

It's amazing how much this movie 'borrows' from other, better known, genre movies, such as "Inception" and "Minority Report", just to name the two most obvious ones. This all annoyed me at first but I have to give the movie some credit for coming up with plenty of good and original developments of their own as well. So while not being very original with its main concept, the movie still works out good and original enough thanks to its own story.

Other than that, it's still not the most involving and exciting movie to watch. This is a sort of movie that would had worked out much better with some better drama and characters involved. If I would had cared for any of that, this still would had been an absolutely great movie to watch, despite of everything else.

You sort of feel the film-makers went over their own heads at times and treated their project like something that was much more clever and groundbreaking than it in fact truly was. Not that the movie is pretentious but the movie does make things hard on itself at times, due to its approach. I actually do believe that with a more simplified approach, especially toward its ending, this potentially could had been a more involving and effective movie to watch.

And since this is a low budget production, it's also lacking any sort of action, which could had spiced things up a little bit more. The movie still has a good pace to it but one or two chase scenes/shootouts probably wouldn't had done this movie any harm.

It seriously is still a good enough watch, certainly better than expected but still not one that's worthy of too much praise.
