Epitaph

About This Movie

Epitaph (2021) has this raw, haunting atmosphere that really captures the essence of the Dark Ages. It’s not just about a knight on a quest; it dives deep into themes of loss and the weight of duty. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, as he treks through this foreboding forest. The practical effects bring a tangible sense of dread, especially with the spirit of death lingering over him—it’s not overly flashy, which adds to the authenticity. The performances are understated but powerful; you can feel the knight’s internal struggle with every step. There’s a distinct sense of melancholy that permeates the film, making it a thought-provoking watch. Really gives you something to ponder afterward.
