Not funny, not scary and not at all interesting...Why this is labeled as horror by genre category is beyond me...People that work at IMDB site should rectify this and replace horror with fantasy maybe ( because of a few trippy sequences ) .
Anyway, with this movie I'm officially done with Richard Bates Jr. ( I've watched everything of his except Trash Fire ) . The only movie of his that I liked was Excision, but that was obviously beginners luck.
Nothing to see here and a real waste of time...

In writer / director Richard Bates Jnr's ironic, low-budget, indie comedy "King Knight" Matthew Gray Gubler & Angela Sarafyan run a small LA coven of nerdy modern witches (ie harmless everyday folk into herbs, crystals, tarot & the like) inc Kate Comer & Johnny Pemberton. When tho it's discovered that Gubler used to be a cool kid (ie the enemy) back in high school he's cast out, running to his Vegas school reunion to face humilitation there alone... or will the coven relent & stand by him? It's a one-joke movie (nerdy modern witches) and that joke quickly wears thin. Fans of the "Napoleon Bonaparte" style may like it - others may be left bemused.
Right, well the 2021 movie "King Knight" is listed as a horror comedy. I beg to differ. "King Knight" is actually neither. It is a rather pointless and less than entertaining movie. But of which genre? Well, I suppose that comedy is actually what comes the closest to labeling the movie, but it is a rather devoid of humor type of comedy.
The storyline, as written by writer and director Richard Bates Jr. Was just a swing and a miss. The entire movie was trying too hard to be avantgarde whilst keeping a twist of humor and comedy to it. It failed, though, on all accounts. And yet, I managed to sit through this blasted ordeal of a movie, hoping the movie would eventually pick up its pace and produce some properly entertainment.
It just never happened.
I have to say that with the likes of Matthew Gray Gubler, Barbara Crampton and Ray Wise on the cast list, in bigger or smaller roles, then you would assume that there would be just an ounce of entertainment and enjoyment to be had from watching "King Knight". How wrong I was!
The acting performances in "King Knight" were lukewarm. So don't get your hopes up.
"King Knight" was a swing and a miss of a movie. It fell entirely short of entertaining me. And the whole avantgarde approach to the otherwise boring and rather mundane storyline didn't really spice up things, though it was in severe need of spicing.
My rating of "King Knight" lands on a generous two out of ten stars, and that is based on the production value mostly.

King Knight is a film that might have a very niche audience. Being (falsely) marketed as a horror film it is perhaps better described as a surreal & quirky indie flick - somewhere between rom-com, mumblecore and horror-comedy, while being neither of those things.
But there is no need to classify this into any genre, but those expecting this to be a horror film will be disappointed. It's more fantastical than anything, telling a coming of age story for adult wizards and witches.
A very low budget film that compensates it's shortcomings with a lot of heart and fun characters.

The humour is peculiar, I did find it funny, but I'm sure some people may not as it isn't really common humour. I definitely found the movie not as what you normally would see, there were some parts which where really unexpected, but all the scenes had background explanation and I could feel invested into what could happen next. I already mentioned, this movie may not be for everyone, I mean that as it has a really strange humour and scenes sometimes, even though it's still a good movie and it maybe have become one of my favorites. Don't watch the movie if you're expecting everything you see usually when you think of a comedy, like basic humour you see in American bland comedies, in my opinion people who find it boring and pointless, just don't really understand the movie at its fullest by just thinking of it as another typical American movie in which they just make mysoginistic jokes and cheating jokes, it really is invested in paganism, but it's definitely understandable. Last but not least, this movie isn't for everyone as it really is progressive and definitely doesn't show any of the classic stuff you would see, there's inclusion, if you think it's just forced and just a teenage movie of people who don't know what "classics values" are you just are really old and should embrace our reality. Watch it if you aren't expecting for a typical bland, boring comedy, it's really interesting, funny and well done, not just the effects but generally the cinematography is good.
