Knights of Badassdom
Three best friends and dedicated roleplayers take to the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons-like scenario as a live action role-playing game. Trouble arises when a prop spellbook purchased from the internet ends up being a genuine grimoire and they unwittingly conjure up a blood-lusting succubus from hell.
Why it matters
A cult-flavored mashup of LARPing subculture and supernatural horror that’s as goofy as it is gory, blending fantasy geekery with practical effects mayhem.
- Practical creature effects that lean into classic monster makeup over CGI, courtesy of KNB EFX—blood, slime, and a succubus that’s memorably grotesque.
- A rare horror romp centered on live-action roleplayers, spotlighting a niche fandom rarely seen onscreen outside documentaries.
- Balances comedy and scares with a self-aware, campy tone—perfect for fans of genre mashups like *Tucker & Dale vs. Evil* or *The Final Girls*.
- Not a cinematic masterpiece, but its earnest affection for geek culture and practical effects delivers enough charm to earn cult status.
