    Storyline

    Edit
    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. —Nick Riganas

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The main cast went through Live Action Role Playing sessions before filming and Peter Dinklage was declared the most successful out of everyone.
    • Goofs
      Only Ronnie could read the language in the book but yet somehow Eric was still able to read from it. Eric should have never been able to read from the book hence the creature should have never been summoned.

      Ronnie could understand it, while Eric just read it like reading a foreign language but not understanding it.
    • Quotes

      Eric: And Guinevere the fearless, who's plus-three ass of perfection should keep the memory of she who should not be mentioned at bay.

      Gwen: Plus-three? Clearly you underestimate my endowments.

    Not as bad as the reviews
    It's not as bad as some of the reviews make it out. But you do have to be a geek at heart.

    You don't have to be a LARPer necessarily, but you do have to know a little about the culture. There are a lot of jokes and references that if you know nothing about roll play, LARP or just general geekdom, they will pass you by.

    So yeah its not for everyone, but it is funny and the actors all put in exceptional performances for what it is.

    It's not meant to be a block buster CG extravaganza, so don't expect a block buster action horror and you will enjoy it.

    But again, if you know nothing about geek culture this will go right over your head.

    Great performances by all, need to say that again.
