movie is obviously not up to pro standards and you prolly have to be able to see that as a charming aspect rather than a obstacle to enjoy it fully.

new Star Wars cash cow of a steamroller, for example apparently $200,000,000 wasn't enough to iron out the kinks on some of their rushed effects .So yeah, the story is irrelevant and plenty of it looks *beyond* dopey, but you really couldn't ask for much more from such a comparatively minor project.

fight scene got from the creators.The rest is a classic fantasy quest, where the unlikeliest of allies - a Human cleric, an Orc chieftain and the Elven bounty huntress - battle the growing threat of evil.There were scenes that seemed a bit off, but not many. I was inclined to rate this a 10 just because I couldn't think of any scenes that I didn't enjoy or felt they were not part of the story. The battles are well done, the make up professional, the acting top notch - and you have to take into account that these are no name actors with a few films like Osombie in their belt - and the story doesn't feel like it was written by a kindergarten child.All in all, don't expect anything else than a good fantasy quest film, but it was thankfully and unexpectedly good. I can't wait for the next SAGA movie.

the 9 may be a bit high and based on the fact that the movie exceeded my expectations, but this movie is still worth a view. Enjoy.

which is now the first scene. That was a test for the concept, shot in one day with almost no budget in Snow Canyon State Park. It worked out and they collected enough money also from fans via Kickstarter to make this movie. And it is very entertaining with even some funny moments. The costumes are very good in my opinion, especially the ones for the orcs. I like the music and also the fighting scenes. I would really like to see a sequel with our heroes. So give it a try! You will like the ears of that blue-eyed sword swinging elf. For me it's a 8/10, including a bonus for the elf, the main orc :- and for the fantastic evolution of this project.

doesn't look oversaturated and edited, but really natural, which adds a lot of immersion that most movies are lacking nowadays.Overall it's a really nice movie and I can definitely recommend it to people who like the genre.

Shadow, which disciples plan to summon and materialise their demon master, the death god Goth Azul. Nothing new here.No, the strong points of "The Shadow Cabal" I'll stick with this title lie within other fields.In some parts the film is wonderfully trashy, but more than once we are granted well done sceneries, e.g. the vision sequences or the Orc's boating trip. It is also the Orc that is the trio's most entertaining one, thanks to the actor's solid performance. The Elf, Nemyt, is established as a likable "bad girl", albeit with an irritating habit for spitting and sexy "Underworld" contact lenses . She has got an impudent attitude, indulges in animalistic hissings at times, but turns out to be loyal to the good side. Last but not least, she is pleasant to behold. Which leaves us with the paladin: He stays slightly anaemic, partly because he hasn't got as many strong scenes as the other two lead characters.Digital effects are scarce, yet or therefore the final boss is rather impressive for an indie film. Furthermore, there is many a scene that sports a downright surreal atmosphere for example the happenings at the Bleeding Stone . The locations are generally well chosen, but the footages of the Grand Canyon and other recognisable sites work against the immersion into a fantasy world. Make-up and props look good, often really good. However, the main Orc needs a nose job -- right now he reminds me of the Grinch. The fighting scenes are mostly solid and never overdone. To top it off, there are a lot of lovely details, such as Nemyt's aforementioned mask.Unbiased, this film would get a seven. But the indie bonus makes it an eight out of ten, hands down.
