Night of the Templar (2013) Reviews
A film well worth the wait!
It took Sampson and his crew a few years to get this to the screen, I guess that's just how Hollywood works, but the wait was well worth it! If you read any of the reviews here, you will clearly see who actually watched the film as a fan, and you'll see some weird guy who keeps posting garbage reviews over and over under different names. Ignore that guy and see this film! He is just bringing this site down to the level of Facebook and it doesn't look good for him to do that. From a viewer standpoint, you'll need to know right off that this film is as much about the history of the Knight's Templar as Star Wars is about the space program. This is an Original and Tempting tale that invites the viewer into a classic storyline of wrongdoing, vengeance and on occasion ... boobies! Who doesn't love boobies? I don't want to give away plot details, but you can expect the same flow in this story that has been popular and successful in similar cult classic films like Kill Bill (no coincidence intended with Carradine's role), but the transfer of time from then to now with a storyline that "keeps it real" is exactly what I'm talking about. For the technical buffs who see this - enjoy a film actually shot on film, the kind that makes the big screen look magical! Someone mentioned the landscapes look real - my guess is that it's because it was professionally shot on the REAL landscape! I was transformed back in time 800 years in the first scene. The castle they shot in is also real. This isn't a studio set, that's a real building. I did my homework on that and I wan't to spend a night in it, the place looks great! The players in the game are a nice blend of long standing film talents and some fresh faces in the industry who got a real lucky break working with this line-up. It's evident in the story and the production that the big names who did this film did it because it is a standout notch not their resumes! Sampson produced a winner in this! Kier, Reedus, Carradine - these aren't come and go actors, these people only do films that matter, I was truly impressed! While you can only officially get it at the moment in the UK, or order it from Amazon/Europe like I did, I say Get It! I'm sure it will be hitting the states soon, but if you're like me and you don't want to wait to own a copy of some great Norman Reedus acting or just to have the thrill of owning the last David Carradine film, Amazon is the place to be. Non-bias rating: It's an absolute 10! You aren't getting 300, Lord of the Rings or some other film that people have compared it to - you're getting something more original, and in Hollywood, where people are remaking f'd out scripts like Total Recall over and over again, it's truly refreshing to see that someone took the time and the expense to produce something new that I haven't seen twenty times over. Before I have to sit through another rendition of Alice in Wonderland, I'm glad to enjoy a unique plot with characters I actually like! Ignore the big mouth slamming this film on this review board, watch it and enjoy the American Dream. A film that someone dreamt up and created without ripping off the same old garbage. Night of the Templar is well worth the ten bucks!
A Masterpiece!
This is one awesome ride! Wicked, funny, visually stunning, and full of action and originality and there simply isn't praise enough for this unique and wonderful film. Writer-Director-Actor Paul Sampson allows each of the players to be an individual three-dimensional character, to develop and play off each other, so we become genuinely interested in who these guys are, and then he allows the horror to grow out of their personalities and the world that they inhabit. And the final 30 minutes of this film are spellbinding: as the Templar's revenge plan is carried out like clockwork, the viewer must take a certain amount of guilty delight in how thoroughly and perfectly he exacts his vengeance. It was probably necessary for this to be an independent film, because any major studio would have forced the filmmakers to abandon their brilliant style and add a contrived, Hollywood-style glaze over it. Like the great cult films of yesteryear, 'The Night of the Templar' is powerful, frightening, and most of all uncompromising.
Classic Horror Film Uniquely done
This should be on everyone's list of cult classics. The film is unique and well done. Love the humor and the gore. Carradine, Reedus, Drego incredible cast. Cudos to Sampson for for sticking to basics and keeping it real. Almost expected Vincent Price to pop out somewhere. I like the humor in this film. Its twisted. Personally, my kind of stuff. Sampson has put together the right balance of humor, gore, and mystery. The woman are all hot and worth watching if that's all you are interested in. Definitely some enjoyable scenes with the woman. For 10 bucks at Walmart, its worth grabbing a copy. You will probably watch it more than once. It's a Saturday night cult horror classic like they used to make them.
A New Legend
I really enjoy these types of films and since I saw that up and comer Norman Reedus was in it I just had to check it out. Having really enjoyed his performance thus far in Walking Dead I knew I'd be in for a treat and I was right. The late Mr. Carradine makes his final role very poignant and witty and I full-heartedly enjoyed Mr. Sampson as a medieval Knight/modern day vigilante. Bring the pain! The movie itself is funny, albeit dark and promises to deliver a warped tale to all of us who enjoy thinking out of the box. There are babes galore, epic sword-fights, gore, romance and a healthy dose of twisted humor. Watch it, enjoy yourself and watch it again. A+ for effort!
A Smorgasbord of a Film
I ordered Night of the Templar because I am a huge Paul Sampson and Norman Reedus fan, having seen them work together on previous films. Let me just say, I was NOT disappointed. Do not let the cover of the DVD mislead you. This is not just an historical medieval film. It has many layers to it...revenge/murder/mystery/intrigue/erotica/ campy comedy/action. Paul Sampson wrote, directed, produced and starred in the film, which is an achievement in itself. He has the uncanny ability and talent to change his persona in every role...he is a true chameleon. He also achieved, as casting director, to cast an incredible ensemble of actors....the legendary David Carradine, Norman Reedus, Billy Drago, Udo Kier... They all bring their unique talents to the screen in this film. Carradine, in his last film appearance, gives his subtle sarcastic humor to his role as shopkeeper. Norman Reedus is pure genius and does magical things with an orange. Udo Kier portrays the sinister, voyeuristic Father Paul, Billy Drago is campy superb as the cross dressing cook. The transitions between Medieval times and modern time are effortless. This is a must see film. And,it should be seen many times. Every time you watch this film, you discover something new...something you may have missed before.........and before.....and before......
