Knives of the Avenger
ActionAdventure85 min
Cameron Mitchell is Helmut, a knife-throwing Viking warrior who finds refuge with a peasant woman and her young son, then becomes their protector when a ruthless regent closes in. Elissa Pichelli’s widowed mother is caught in the regent’s bid to claim both the throne and her household, turning a temporary shelter into a standoff with assassins and soldiers. Directed by Mario Bava, the 1966 Italian film shifts his eye for shadowy interiors and flashes of color into a medieval tale of pursuit, prophecy, and a lone fighter standing between a family and a usurper’s reach.
