Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Oh no, I feel bad for not posting a review ages ages ago. I've watched "Night of the Templar" from start to finish. Paul Sampson worked magic on the medieval scenes with the shields, kind of. We know the Templars were all butchered at the end in real life. A true medieval Templar would have prayed before a killing but he certainly would never have used dental whitener. The modern setting was funny and pantomime, as these people were sitting there wondering whats going on, as the viewer does too. I watched it because it was made by Paul Sampson alone and I was curious. RIP David Carradine who starred in this film. Sir Gregoire himself couldn't rest, because he's an angry spirit wanting revenge so he ended up butchering innocent people including women, and during the wrong century. Also a shame that his horse didn't come back to life.

I watched this movie some time ago, because I was in a Reedus-frenzy after TWD, but Oh My, nothing could prepare me for this movie! It is the most awkward movie I have ever seen, and I barely made it to the end, wanting to just turn it off way before. The only thing holding me back was my friend, who I had forced to watch this movie with me, who said: We have made it so far through this awful film, we might as well see if it stays bad 'til the very end. Nothing was good about it. I cringed,and laughed (not in a good way) and hid behind a pillow (to protect myself from the awkwardness), The story was shallow, the "history"poor, I felt bad for the actors, the females were horribly portrayed and treated, the production was bad..... The only funny thing about this, is the reviews, which I have a suspicion is written of or on behalf of the creator of the movie. But seriously - don't waste your time with this! You will never get that time back!

I love this movie and have watched it multiple times. Each time I watch it I find something new and interesting that I didn't see before. While the modern day part of the film is amazing I find myself drawn to the medieval era even more. The subtleties and nuances of Lord Gregoire is absolutely amazing. Paul Sampson does an excellent job of portraying him in such a humble yet courageous way that is instantly likable yet you can't help but respect him as the great lord as he is. His transition into Jake McCallister is flawless yet you can still see Lord Gregoire buried within the character. I can't wait to watch it again to see what new gem I find buried within this amazing indie film!!

For some unknown reason my previous review on this title was "reported" and deleted. I hope that the IMDb reviewer this time, will see before allowing this to go public that I have no ill intentions towards anyone, and only the best intention towards potential viewers of this movie.Nuff said, off to the review... I can only begin by saying that this is a very bad film. Even though they use some good actors like Carradine the final result is way bellow average. The direction makes it obvious from the first 5 seconds that this movie is not only low budget, but also very poorly made. The script is lacking and the actors do not have the proper material in order to act and produce something good. The leading role is performed by an actor that can not really act the part. I was astonished to look up the names of these three people(director - lead actor - writer), and find out that they were all the same person! Anyways, this is one of the worst movies I have watched this year(and the previous), and I am shocked to see all the misleading 10* reviews on IMDb, when the general rating is 3*. My intention is not to "trash" this movie. What I write is my personal and professional opinion as an art director.
