Dark Dungeons 2014

Two college students are seduced into the evil cult of role playing games. If you go into this expecting a great film, you re going to be disappointed. This is based off of a Jack Chick pamphlet, so you know that it s not going to be serious business. What makes this film is that everyone tries to play their roles as straight as possible. There s no Leslie Nielsenesque romping or Jim Carey mugging for the camera. Calling this a parody isn t entirely accurate, however it s not entirely inaccurate either. The source material here is so absurdly ridiculous that there s no need to lampoon the fact that some religious groups are over the top ridiculous when it comes to demonic material because they do it for you. It s like petting a cat: you just put your hand down and it does all the work for you. The end result is a film that can arguably be called bad, but bad in all of the right ways. The acting is decent and the script, while ridiculous, is pretty hilarious.
