Live-action role players conjure up a demon from Hell by mistake and they must deal with the consequences.
In a valiant but pointless attempt to cheer up their freshly-dumped friend and former Dungeons and Dragons legend, Joe, two enthusiastic Live Action Role Players--Eric, a 27-level Grand Sorcerer in the making, and Hung, a medieval Master Rogue--drag their sad companion to a large-scale LARP campaign in the middle of a forest. However, things will soon spin out of control, as a malevolently cryptic dark incantation from the pages of a seemingly innocent prop book of spells, inadvertently summons a demonic succubus bent on destruction. Now, try to stop a slaughterous extra-dimensional being with several foam sticks and a handful of plastic swords.
This film was interesting in it's satirical comment on fantasy L,A,R,P. If you are or have ever been a D&D player this film will be familiar. The movie was funny in a charming tongue and cheek kinda way. The special effects, are supposed to be corny though, keep that in mind as it's part of the joke. The characters were interesting as we rarely see Actors acting as if they are not acting, but playing non- actors playing a fantasy gaming That involves acting (confusing i know). The book of Evil was obviously a tribute to the classic film Evil Dead. The cast was perfect Peter Dinklage, Summer Glau, Ryan Kwanten, and Steve Zahn. All in all i would say the film could of done with more script work developing characters and plot. There was a lot of talent in this film and i feel that it was not exploited to it's full potential.
From the title and the cover art thumbnail on Netflix I dismissed this immediately as one of these low-budget, low-talent parodies of whatever the most recent popular film is. The kind spawned by the Scary Movie franchise. However when I actually looked at the cover properly and picked out faces I realised it was far from that. With actors from Game of Thrones, Community, Firefly and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia combined with heavy geek humour, metal and a medieval theme it seemed like it was actually made specifically for me. Unfortunately half of this big cast play little more than cameo roles with (spoilers...) Danny Pudi getting killed off without ever having his character properly established or speaking more than about three lines. Peter Dinklage plays a small role (no pun intended) at best and meets a similar fate without really doing much. Slightly disappointing to be honest as they are both great actors who could have done with a little more screen time before their grisly demise. In fact none of the characters are especially well established in either their real world or fantasy personas. Still the storyline was good and since I have always found the subject of LARP rather amusing it was entertaining. However having seen other reviews I think I largely found it funny because I actually know about LARP (without ever having done it) and have messed about in roleplaying servers of online games (which are frankly hilarious). Hence it was the subtleties of the LARP combined with the out of character stuff that made it funny without there needing to be big in your face jokes. For instance giving the car park some crazy fantasy name and pretending it is anything other than a car park when you... do in fact know it is a car park and literally just parked your car there. Just like in RP MMOs when players will pretend that moderators are some kind of god or demon... rather than just being a minimum wage employee sat behind a computer in a massive office. Everyone knows these things but they pretend anyway. It is that level of commitment and surrealness which makes it funny. I appreciate that those who know nothing about RP will probably not find any of that amusing though. It probably could have done with a lot more live action roleplay so people understand what it actually involves... prior to everyone dying. Those who do play LARP are probably going to find a lot of the content kind of offensive because it is just totally at their expense and they are ultimately the butt of every single joke. So given that this film seems to fit a niche specifically for those who understand what RP is but don't actually do it I can understand the bad reviews. I'd probably give it 8/10 in fairness but I feel inclined to be generous as I sincerely believe this film was made for me and me alone. My only complaint really was that the succubus didn't make sense. In pretty much all established lore a succubus is meant to be a demon that takes the form of a woman to seduce men and then ultimately kills or otherwise degrades them. The origins of this are fairly obviously a repressive Christian thing to scare men away from sexual temptation with a horror story. Yet in this film the succubus kills readily and without actually needing the seduction element. The gay guy she tried to kill should have been immune to her, as should Hung as he was seeing her for what she truly was due to the shrooms. As it stands her transforming into some giant demon thing served only to be aesthetic as she was already invulnerable to attack and a savage, superhuman killer. She should have only been able to kill those she seduced prior to the transformation otherwise she could have been a werewolf for all the difference it made.
Dear Joe Lynch, please let me see your Director’s Cut ASAP? Knights Of Badassdom is an unfinished product, but it passes based on the content our director was able to salvage.
Knights of Badassdom is a action horror comedy starring Summer Glau and Peter Dinklage in which all hell breaks loose for a group of dungeons and dragons roleplayers, during a dungeons and dragons enactment in the woods, when they discover that a spell book they bought online, is a book that summons demons and they unwittingly unleash a demon from medieval legend, that goes on a rampage in the woods. a5c7b9f00b
