A fantasy film that is far-fetched filth, hideous special effects, directing and acting comparable to garbage. The film does not entertain, it does not entertain, in practice it is just boring and in the end it leaves you absolutely nothing and you feel like you have just wasted time watching it.

I have had diareah. All off them is better than this movie. If i could - i would go back in time, Get diareah another time. For atleast one week. And then i would go for the extra week.

This is a low budget venture. I say that to get it out of the way. There are reviewers, and plenty of them, who will attack a low budget venture because it doesn't have multi-million dollar CGI or effects - which is ludicrous. I understand parts of this were Crowdfunded. What we end up with is clearly made with passion and, as far as I'm concerned looks good, features solid acting throughout and an engaging story. Occasionally, some of the dialogue is obscured by the music, and some of the fight scenes don't quite convince. For all that, we have well written and really nicely played characters, and an effective villain (a Vampira-esque Kerry Browne as The Sorceress) and some good set pieces. Director Philip Todd and other assorted Todds responsible for production and writing have done a commendable job and created something with passion and heart, enthusiastically played. My score is 7 out of 10.

The Gaelic King is a low budget fantasy film done right and there is pretty much nothing else i can say other than that. Lead actor Jake McGarry is a charming lead and makes a nice change from the usual mumbling brick built boneheads that occupy this role in other low budget fantasy films. A production with controlling majority in the hands of three brothers, Philip, Matthew and Nathan Todd, there is a strong sense of continuity in the acting and direction, making The Gaelic King a good screenplay performed well with good direction and a good sense of genre about it. It does fall into cliche more than once, but good production values and the aforementioned strong storytelling promote a lot of good faith and this can be easily overlooked. Not as violent or mature as i thought it was going to be, The Gaelic King fits best with a teenage audience if they are inclined to this sought of thing. Probably not, but nevertheless, it has those feel good feels and a sly sense of humour even which broadens it's appeal. Once again, all examples of a well told story. I don't think i could ask more from 90 minutes of low budget fantasy filmmaking.

This movie reminds me of the life adventures in the forest we did when we were young. Acting is about that level.sort of ridiculous.

This movie is great for fans of the sword and sorcery genre, as well as fans of B-Movies. The positives: strong acting with the exception of one or two awkward scenes. Right away this puts the movie ahead of most b-movies. The story is well done, straight forward, and entertaining. The music is great, particularly the song during closing credits. The negatives: the fight scenes are entirely unbelieable. I'm not sure if any of the actors had previous stage fighting experience. Also, the special effects distract from the film, especially during the final battle scene. If you're the sort of viewer that doesn't mind bad effects and unconvincing fight scenes you'll you enjoy the movie.

Seeing a lot of comments relating to the budget of this film (which is tight) - take it for what it is people; a charming, family film, full of Scottish folklore and landscape. Some stand-out performances and a stunning score. Compared with other micro-budget features in the market, this is a knock-out! You can clearly tell all those involved really cared about what they were putting their name to. Give Netflix a rest for an afternoon, and support Indie film-making.

This is not a streamlined Hollywood production. Effects are under par, acting is a little wooden sometime. So what? It´s refreshing, it´s different, and yes, it´s funny sometimes. I think it´s a masterpiece with real people you can relate to, other than those mainstream titles with models as actors (except the sorceress, who looks like she´s out of the movies). So, if you like your flics to be a little, again, different, this will be worth your time, if not for the sake of the scenery shown alone. I totally enjoyed it.
