39 Gruesome Deaths!
A band of adventurers steals an enchanted stone, and earns a wizard’s desperate revenge. The wizard must summon all his old fighting comrades to get the artifact back – before its evil dooms their world.
If you find yourself missing the Renaissance Faire in the long cold dark of winter, this is the movie for you. While the film is not technically about role-playing, it more than merits inclusion in this series due to the incredibly thick LARPing energy radiating off of every frame of this shockingly cohesive and well wrought fantasy action mini-epic.
The director affectionately referred to it as a “home video that got out of hand” – shot on video in Florida, featuring a cast of Renaissance Faire performers (who the film was specifically written for) able to flex their stunt skills with free reign to spill as much blood and guts as possible. Also features an incredible theme song.
