Afghan Knights



A ghost movie in modern clothes
The demon filed caves of Afghanistan are the setting for
a twisted fight between good and evil. The soul of a brother cries out

If this is how "Real" Navy SEALS fight, we're screwed!)/makeup/wardrobe/food services/random extras/etc. Send hearty "Thank You" notes to whichever awake-at-the-switch person that cast the only actual talent (and isn't even LISTED in the "Who's in this thing,...
