Summary: It's another story of dunces and dragons right here. But this time, someone decided to throw in zombies because clearly having a dragon in the mix wasn't enough. All of that aside, you probably aren't coming out of this film with anything memorable to say about it.

History: Long ago, the realm of Nazroth was split into 12 kingdoms, with the Dark Kingdom as the place where all kinds of monsters and villains dwell. Recently, a dragon has moved away from the place and menaced the other kingdoms, forcing some knights led by Sir Richard to go after it. But there's a bit more afoot here. The entire Dark Kingdom is getting antsy, and the evil Prince Favian has brought forth an army of undead known as the Fury Bloods. Dragons and zombies threaten to destroy the entire realm should Richard and his newfound allies not be able to pull through.

Notable Kills: Nothing special.

Final Fate: After much chaos involving dragons and fighting within the Dark Kingdom itself in gladiatorial combat, Richard and company manage to win the favor of the Dark Lord Retic when a benevolent rock troll convinces them all to stop fighting, and thus, the battle for the freedom of all kingdoms continues with the human and the inhuman uniting. Prince Favian still has his army, but they are going to face significant opposition, especially if the dragons stop being useful to him.

Powers/Abilities: Dragons can breathe fire, and some Dark Kingdom beings are capable of using magic.

Weakness: Anything conventional, though the bigger they are, the more artillery they require to bring down.

Scariness Factor: 3-The many creatures of the Dark Kingdom are powerful, and sometimes the costuming is surprisingly good for something of this budget (though Retic bears a striking resemblance to that lizard girl from "Star Raiders"). However, some of the costumes, like the rock troll and the Orcull, are a joke straight out of a high school play, and the CGI is as bad as you'd expect. The dragons are hurt the most by this, in spite of their awe-inspiringly intimidating designs. There is also how in spite of being violent beings, the Dark Kingdom ultimately isn't above fighting a common enemy alongside the humans. Perhaps in the next sequel (if it happens), they could turn out to be pretty great allies!

Trivia: -Aside from these films, director Simon Wells' other feature-length film as of now is "Carnivore: Werewolf of London").

...grasping at straws to find anything else here.
