Epic Pictures’ specialty horror label DREAD presents A KNIGHT’S WAR. The film follows Bhodie, a knight of dubious birth but unwavering loyalty, tasked with a perilous mission: to journey into the dangerous realm of the fallen and retrieve the corrupted soul of the chosen one. A KNIGHT’S WAR will have a limited theatrical run beginning February 7, and on February 11 the film will be available to rent or purchase on video-on-demand (VOD). Black Fawn Distribution has also acquired the Canadian rights to A KNIGHT’S WAR with a theatrical and home video release in Canada slated for spring 2025.
“A KNIGHT’S WAR is a testament to what can be achieved with passion, creativity, and an incredible team. This film holds a special place in my heart because of the sheer determination and effort that went into every aspect of its creation.” says director Matt Ninaber. “The grit and love that went into this film are undeniable when you see it on screen.”
A KNIGHT’S WAR was co-financed by Epic Pictures as a DREAD original, in association with High Rise Studio and is executive produced by Epic Pictures CEO Patrick Ewald.
A KNIGHT’S WAR is the fourth collaboration from the Ninaber brothers – director Matt Ninaber and star Jeremy Ninaber. Director Matt Ninaber, best known for playing the titular role in Psycho Goreman and his directorial endeavor Death Valley, partially shot A KNIGHT’S WAR in his own backyard. All sets for the film were built by hand.
“A KNIGHT’S WAR is an exciting blend of horror and medieval storytelling that we’re proud to have co-financed and can’t wait for audiences to experience.” says Epic Pictures CEO Patrick Ewald. “Horror fans will appreciate how director Matthew Ninaber masterfully brings this dark, underworld journey to life. This marks our third collaboration with Epic, and it’s been an absolute privilege to partner with such incredible talent once again.”
The official synopsis for the film reads: A fearless knight braves a deadly realm to save the Chosen One’s soul. Facing witches, demons, and brutal foes, he discovers her return could ignite chaos and doom humanity.
A KNIGHT’S WAR is written and directed by Matthew Ninaber (Death Valley, Transference, Extraction Day). Starring Jeremy Ninaber (Transference, Best Friend from Heaven, Forest Fairies), Matthew Ninaber (Psycho Goreman, Transference, Disasters at Sea), Kristen Kaster (Death Valley, If I Should Die).
