Movie Reviews

Espinof - 1/10 by Alberto AbuínA pure and simple, viking-themed, western. [Full review in Spanish]
User Review - 10/10 by Pavandeep SA tale of revenge, sword-throwin style. This was really a fascinating movie by Bava, the weay he develops and eventually shows the character is really interesting, I don think the entire movie is innovative other than being shot outdoors a lot, which happened in one of the sequences too in Tre Volti I Paura, but there there was a strong Gothic feel, here, it is more brutal, more suspense orientated and really exciting and cool.
User Review - 8/10 by Stephen KA surprisingly good viking revenge film from horror maestro, Mario Bava. So good, in fact, that I'd rank it as one of his best. This change in genre allows for new topics (specifically the balance between revenge and atonement) not normally explored by Bava. Well worth a watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Richard DHere's a Bava flick I have a serious soft spot for. It's essentially a western set in Viking times. Cameron Mitchell is the wandering gunman (knifeman in this film) who takes up with a woman in distress while seeking vengeance against those who wronged him. There's nothing particularly unusual about it outside of the Viking setting, but it's a really solid genre flick. It also has a really cool, long drawn-out fist fight.
User Review - 6/10 by R.John X- trust the crazy old lady near the fire gyser who just sleeps on the beach when she is not doling out death fantasies to dethroned viking royalty, those ladies, they speak for the dead! - eyebrows. - it helps to have a hut or barn or other place to hide/live in which is totally conspicious to your enemies and everyone looking for you - curly curly blonde hair - eyebrows - flashbacks are the only way to catch up on the story so far, there has been a lot of plundering and butchering, its like some former soviet satellite - fistfights are a good way to reconnect - when you go revenging, it helps to have an endless supply of trowing knives and daggers and short swords - glistening thighs in leather shorts, plucked arched eyebrows, and creepy old guy/young boy bonding is really the whole attraction of these movies, huh? Bava at his genre pinnacle. This movie drips scenery and sunbright dirt shimmering up under snow white stallions. The cave chase that involves a sleeping enemy is great stuff.
User Review - 6/10 by Andrew GI wasn't blown away by Knives of the Avenger but it picked up for the last act. A majority of the action took place outdoors, which doesn't lend well for Bava's signature lighting. Still, it's a lot better than Bava's later work, but don't knock yourself out looking for an out of print copy. Although, the flashback scene seemed to be the basis for half of Terry Gilliam's work.
User Review - 6/10 by Ross HBava re-wrote and directed this Viking saga in about seven days, but you'd never know from watching it. I'd like to see James Cameron do that.
User Review - 6/10 by Hunter DThis movie gets points from me just for being a Viking movie, something we get precious few of. While I enjoyed the story and some of the swashbuckling action sequences, there's never really an emotional payoff with the lead character's sordid past and his connection to the supporting characters. The climax scene was also...well...anti-climactic. Still, Bava makes the sets look great with his trademark use of lighting and slick camerawork (although he seemed more restrained here than in some of his other movies), and the knife-throwing action we get is a lot of goofy fun.
User Review - 6/10 by Benjamin HMario Bava's viking epic plays more like a revenge western. This film contains some stunning photography and some well-staged action set-pieces.
User Review - 6/10 by Zach MI don't know what it was about Italians and these Viking epics, but they sure are silly. I'm just glad that this movie isn't called Hercules and the Knives of the Avenger. Well, this is Bava's first foray away from the horrific kind of movie and it kindof isn't the worst movie ever. I won't even say it is good, but I've seen a lot of these trashy movies under the Mystery Science Theater 3000 or The Film Crew label. These kinds of movies suck. They one-star suck. This movie isn't the worst and you can kind of follow it, so I have to give it three stars. (By the way, get ready for me to start turning on Bava in the near future about this kind of stuff. His movies go from really clean and cool to just absolutely convoluted when it comes to storyline. This one is at least making a little bit of sense.) If you were to classify this movie into any genre, I would have to put it into the action epic category. The most absurd idea behind Knives of the Avenger is that, like it sounds, the main character uses knives as weapons. That's not to say that he uses knives like a knifefighter, slashing and ducking. No. He's awesome at throwing them. Now, that can be cool if executed once or twice, but a billion times. I mean, there's not much action going on with this movie. It's just that the main character runs into problems with oodles of henchmen and he dispaches them all with an unlimited supply of throwing knives. Where the hell does he get all those knives? There's no way that he would be carrying that many knives on him at any one point that he could just dispose of knives like bullets. But the worst thing is that you don't really see the knives fly and hit their targets. It's just people miming that they are being hit by knives and falling out of sh*t. There's a guy in a tree. The viking throws a knife (because he sees him in the tree) and he falls out. Replace tree with high walls or gates or stairs. First of all, in an era without guns, what is everyone doing in trees. Shouldn't they be weilding some bows and arrows or something? I mean, the guy throws knives. You'd think after you found most of your forces dead from knife and fall wounds, you'd want to change up your approach, but these guys don't listen. Stupid Vikings. The main story is more like "eh." You want to see the guy kick the old husband's ass because he's being a puss. Yes, there's always matters of honor and dignity and boning another man's wife, but the guy spared him time and time again. Does he honestly think that he won that fist fight? It was obvious that he didn't fight back. Okay, this wasn't so much of a review as it was a rant. This is another good drunk movie, but don't expect a lot out of it. It doesn't have that much going for it besides the fact that it is a halfway decent Italian Viking movie. The biggest issue I have with the movie is that you just don't care about the main story. After a few movies, Bava really got involved with how important the story is to justify all this action. This movie has a ton of action. Too much action. Hell, if people aren't throwing knives at one another, then they are teaching children how to throw knives and laughing it off. All I can tell you is that the "teaching to throw knives sequence" isn't as powerful as Shane teaching the kid about how to shoot a gun. But there's all kinds of backstory. I mean, there's the backstory of the princess on the run. Then there's betrayal and people hate each other. It's very unneccessary to follow the details. All you have to know is that someone wants to be king through marriage. I'm sure that if he cut off enough heads, things would work out fine, but then there'd be no one to root for. This is silliness and I'm amazed that I've devoted this much bandwith to this movie.
