A Spaniard, a Russian and a Hungarian walked into a movie sounds like the start of a joke but it is this movie with it's mix of Chinese and European actors. If you've ever wondered what it would be like if Asylum made a Wuxia movie then this is the movie for you. Paper thin plot (parts of which were ripped of Game of Thrones does this sound familiar disgraced warrior exiled for the rest of their lives to order of warriors Who protect against the undead ), barely developed characters, average to bad acting and dodgy CGI this movie has them all. With just a dash of 70's Shaw Brothers movie (bad dubbing (of the people speaking English for once) , only a couple of the actors are any good at stage fighting while the rest are barely capable and two dozen people meant to be an army of thousands).
The plot is fairly standard ancient evil defeated but not destroyed long ago and sealed away the key to which is the McGuffin of the story in this case a sword. A group of unlikely heroes come together to fight the bad guys minions and prevent his resurrection, with the standard damm your sudden but inevitable betrayal B story.
Now I'm a bit of a fan of the Asylum movies and bad movies in general but this one isn't interesting. It isn't a self aware parody like Sharknado or Kung Pow and its not bad enough to be good or good enough to be bad it is a paint by numbers bog standard movie whose only point of interest is the fact you have European actors playing heroes in a Wuxia movie. I'll give it a generous not unwatchable but forgettable.
