From Epic Pictures‘ specialty genre label DREAD comes A KNIGHT’S WAR, a terrifying tale of medieval horror from filmmaking siblings the Ninaber brothers. Written and directed by Matt Ninaber, best known for the title role in Steven Kostanski’s Psycho Goreman (2020), the film is slated for a limited U.S. theatrical run beginning on February 7, followed by a VOD release on February 11. A KNIGHT’S WAR will come to Canadian cinemas and home video via Black Fawn Distribution this spring.
A KNIGHT’S WAR stars Jeremy Ninaber (Transference, Best Friend from Heaven, Forest Fairies) as Bhodie, “a knight of dubious birth but unwavering loyalty, tasked with a perilous mission: to journey into the dangerous realm of the fallen and retrieve the corrupted soul of the chosen one.” Their fourth collaboration, A KNIGHT’S WAR was an intense exercise in innovative filmmaking for the Ninaber brothers. The film was partially filmed in Matt Ninaber’s backyard, and the elaborate sets were built entirely by hand.
“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.” director Matt Ninaber, says. “The grit and love that went into this film are undeniable when you see it on screen.”
DREAD was kind enough to share the following clip from A KINGHT’S WAR exclusively with RUE MORGUE.
