Let's be honest up front here-- this isn't a "good" movie. It's strange, it has weird plot turns, it's a solid B- or C-lister for sure. But that's why, in my opinion, it is awesome. The concept is pretty cool-- a zombie civil war army-- and hopefully someday it will be redone and given the actual credence this cool concept deserves. However, for now, we have this hopelessly bad move that is yet somehow fun. My vote goes to watch it around the Halloween season. So, it's no blockbuster, but if you are in the probably small demographic that is interested by the subject matter and enjoys a good bad movie every now and then, you might just like it. If you are a film snob, I highly recommend you stay away. Unless you are a bad film snob. Then just maybe you will like it.

Few films have managed to so completely urinate away a great premise as George Hickenlooper's Grey Knight aka Ghost Brigade aka The Killing Box. Adrian Pasdar's Union officer teams up with his onetime friend and now Confederate prisoner of war Corbin Bernsen to track down a band of renegades from both sides who are wreaking indiscriminate havoc on the countryside, committing atrocities and leaving bodies crucified upside down in their wake. But they're not the usual renegades: when slave traders brought their human cargo with them from the West Indies a hundred years earlier, they unwittingly took something else as well - an evil spirit raising the dead to form an army of its own and leaving their mismatched human hunters with the problem of killing soldiers who are already dead...

With some similarities to S.P. Somtow's brilliant epic novel 'Darker Angels' cross-pollinated with Peckinpah's 'Major Dundee,' this should have been so very much better than it is. Having seen both the studio and the director's versions of the film (also known as Ghost Brigade and The Killing Box), I'm afraid that much of the blame for the fact that an intriguing script has been turned into such a frustratingly below-average movie can be laid firmly at George Hickenlooper's door. Sadly, his direction is barely a step up from Ed Wood, unable to use his limited budget to his best advantage - in addition to his terror of long shots (most of the film is played in flat two-shots or medium close-up), in the early medic sequence the camera is all too obviously just moving around in a circle to make both set and the handful of extras look more substantial (he fails miserably). Worse, he can't handle action or, to any great effect, actors.

The opening screen credits and the introduction promise a more serious effort than we get. The vintage photographs set the scene by showing mutilated and dead soldiers. (The researchers had to dig for some of them.)
The screen credits over carefully selected photographs are, I thought, effective and compelling. Of course, I have spent hundreds of hours going through the period photography so I could appreciate what I saw.

The opening premise is that an important battle was fought with Blue and Gray side by side. As we get into the zombie portion of the story and develop it a bit, there is a back story told by another reviewer. In the Zombie tradition this follows the African voodoo model rather than the mutagenic virus. The level of Zombie "science" seems appropriate to the tome of the film.

The uniforms, equipment, and tactics seem to work for the period. In fact, better than earlier Hollywood epics. This aspect of the film is gritty and works well.

The combination of Civil War realism and grade B horror flick as goals may be too much to ask for. I really don't care that much for the general horror chomp and rip flick, but I have to give this one some credit for
a good effort toward the period atmosphere.

Give the thing its low budget and watch it. You may find it ok as a zombie flick and the Civil War setting helps add to the living vs. living dead theme.

I caught "Grey Knight" (titled "Ghost Brigade" for cable, originally called "The Killing Box") late night at a motel while passing through Cleveland nearly 20 years ago. I found myself taken in by this Civil War undead tale, which co-stars Corbin Bernsen and Adrian Pasdar, includes Billy Bob Thornton and Jefferson Mays in smaller roles, Martin Sheen in a cameo, and bit parts from Matt LeBlanc and David Arquette. It's not super scary but very atmopsheric and offers a nice mash-up of a period piece with a horror story. Unfortunately, this is one of those DVD releases created from a subpar SD transfer, with the film not even filling the screen and forcing you to "zoom in" to a more pixelated image. But since it's the only way you can see this movie, I'll begrudgingly take it. But it deserves way better than this. (Ironically, the price on the DVD dropped 50% two weeks after I purchased it. Bummer.)

I remember when I was little I saw this flick real late at night and absolutely loved it (although I saw it under the title, "Killing Box"). Not too long ago I found Grey Knight at the ol' Blockbuster and was sooo excited I rented it (good thing I talked myself out of buying it). While ripe with cameos, (i.e. Billy Bob Thorton, David Arquette, Martin Sheen, etc) this movie was just plain bad. I must have been really easy to please in my youth. Grey Knight, I do have to say, has a great idea for a film but the directors handled it very poorly. With a touch more of plot development, budget, effects, as well as a change of director this could have been an excellent movie. I'd love to see someone remake it because it does really have an interesting story. Overall, I'd watch it again if it was on TV but I wouldn't recommend spending money to rent it.
