Devil’s Knight (2024)

Directed by Adam Werth, who co-wrote the story with Victor V. Gelsomino, Devil’s Knight takes place in Veroka, where an elite group of global monster hunters known as The Lost Blades — played by an all star cast of direct to streaming actors — are hired by King Samuel (Kevin Hager) to destroy the Bone Devil, whose reign of terror threatens all of humanity.

The fighters include Sigurd (John Welles) and Mathias (Robert Stanley), who handily dispatch a minotaur early in the movie. They’re soon joined by the king’s daughter Princess Sabine (Sarah Nicklin) — who wants to fight like a man — and Captain Baldur (Kevin Sorbo) among many others.

This is packed with actors, including Angie Everhart, Eric Roberts, Daniel Baldwin, Mistress Harley and around a hundred others, as well as just as many associate and executive producers who may also be actors in this. That’s how movies get made these days, you know?

I played a lot of D&D and that means that I watched plenty of sword and sorcery movies in the 80s. This follows a lot of those themes and has huge battles where nearly everyone dies, which is how a hard campaign often goes. It also has some ren faire costuming, but at least the castle sets are nice. I’m telling you this because I am the audience for this movie, the kind of movie that you could never watch with your wife because she’d make fun of you for hours for knowing what terms like hook horror, critical hit and magic missiles mean.

Shout out to producers Michael and Sonny Mahal for making a movie that reminds me of the kind of films that I overdosed on in the 80s, back when my hometown had a video store on almost every corner.

This also has a possessed woman eat a man’s heart and that’s the kind of thing I look for in my movies.
