LOS ANGELES (January 22, 2025) – Epic Pictures’ specialty horror label DREAD presents A KNIGHT’S WAR. The film follows Bhodie, a knight of dubious birth but unwavering loyalty, tasked with a perilous mission: to journey into the dangerous realm of the fallen and retrieve the corrupted soul of the chosen one.

Black Fawn Distribution has also acquired the Canadian rights to A KNIGHT’S WAR with a theatrical and home video release in Canada slated for spring 2025.
“A KNIGHT’S WAR is a testament to what can be achieved with passion, creativity, and an incredible team. This film holds a special place in my heart because of the sheer determination and effort that went into every aspect of its creation.” says director Matt Ninaber. “The grit and love that went into this film are undeniable when you see it on screen.”

This marks our third collaboration with Epic, and it’s been an absolute privilege to partner with such incredible talent once again.”
