Featured reviews
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.
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.
Sat through the whole thing waiting for the horror aspect to take place and next thing you know the credits started rolling. I get that this movie is more of a parody / tongue in cheek type of film but it wasn't entertaining in the slightest. It had a decent B list cast and the music and cinematography were pretty good. The over saturated blue light at the high school reunion was distracting and completely unecessary. Could've been so much better with the cast they had. Skip this movie if you are on the fence.
No pun intended either - sometimes when you know or have seen an actor in a really good movie or role you attach him with a positive vibe. Same is true for the main actor in this. Suburban Gothic being one of the other movies I have seen him in. I preface my review with this, so you know where I am coming from.
Maybe you feel different, but I feel the movie walks the fine line quite ... well fine. The humor is always a thing - well it is in the eye of the beholder. I think it introduces the characters in a good way ... and then takes them apart the only way possible. Including our main guy .... who has more to him than meets the eye in the beginning.
Well told and acted ... but kind of niche ... so has to be your thing to actually like it ... watch the trailer beforehand I reckon.

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...
