[Bryn-gwlad] Kingdom of Acre

[Jay Cross]

There were good bits in the movie, and Brother Blue as Merlin was great.
Like El of the Two Knives, only MUCH better. Ed Harris was good too. Still,
the things that sell it to people who were around when Acre split off have a
deep connection to this film, whereas most people will see it is light
quirky drama.

Interestingly this was made by the guy who made "Night of the Living Dead"
which was filmed in Butler County PA (where Pennsic is), and the first
family we see get killed are "The Coopers".
