An adaptation of Arthurian legend, The Green Knightfollows Gawain on a quest to, once again, face the titular creature after beheading him on Christmas day a year prior. Set in a grim yet fantastical world, The Green Knight makes impressive use of color, with the film's striking greens and powerful yellows used equally well inElden Ring's pre-relea...
In the mid-80s, Disney sought to break their child-friendly animated movies mold by incorporating dark fantasy and horror elements into their animated films. One of the results was The Black Cauldron, an oppressive offering which, though critically lauded, bombed at the box office. Years later, however, it has been revived as something of a cult cl...
A folktale adapted for the silver screen, Rober Egger's The Witch—stylized as The VVitch—was a disturbing epic that paired period-accurate dialogue and settings with subtle elements of witchcraft and satanism. Though it's much smaller in scope than Elden Ring, elements of a more traditional medieval world thrust into realms of unexplainable horror ...
While the first two installments in Sam Raimi'sThe Evil Dead trilogy are staple horror-comedy films, bearing absolutely no resemblance to FromSoftware's fantasy epics, Army of Darkness, the third entry in the series, transports badass protagonist Ash Williams to the Dark Ages, where he must, again, pursue the Necronomicon. Easily the strangest of t...

A 2012 adaptation of the classic folktale, Snow White and the Huntsman is a dark take on the traditionally child-friendly lore surrounding the titular character. Featuring twisted villains, Dark Age aesthetics, and plenty of fantasy elements, it feels as if the Snow White story had been combined with something like Game of Thrones. From set designs...
A seminal adaptation of Tolkein's high fantasy anthology, Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Ringsmovies are heralded as some of the best page-to-film translations of all time.

Telling the tale of a rogue warrior embarking on a grand quest, the Berserk manga series and its 1997 anime adaptation were hugely influential to FromSoftware during the development of the Dark Souls games. Many narrative elements, character designs, and gameplay mechanics were derived from events depicted in the manga, and the Dark Souls games cou...
One of the more grizzly Studio Ghibli releases, 1997's Princess Mononoke marries a beautifully-rendered, larger-than-life high fantasy world with allegories for relatable issues of the modern-day. The film's influence could primarily be felt in FromSoftware's 2019 outing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, but elements from the film may well crop up in Elde...
