When the term B movie gets thrown around you can either picture A evil dead style from the 80s or the terrible bfilms of today from the shows they have on sci fi to the plagerism market like Transmorphers or Up and Away . But back in 2002 a film with a very niche market hit the world by storm . The Gamers by Dead man productions is just a pure Gem . The story is based on two main stories originally it begins with a group of friends gathering in college dorm room getting ready to play a generic rpg Dungeon and dragons game . Then the story splits into the characters they play themselves . The characters they play banding together to defeat the evil shadow. The comedic style used throughout the story combines the cliched sterotypes of gamers such as arguing over rules and people not showing up and the real humour is the real fluency of the script and conversation is so realistic the viewer can imagine themselves having the same dialouge with friends. The second remarkable thing is the marketing thing . While most B-movies use cheap selling tactics selling to crappy movie channels or plagerism marketing tactics the production company for these guys used the internet and the convention scene to create a international appeal with gamers and anime fans .
This film gets 5 d20 dice out of 5 here As one of the films that we will always wtach and enjoy with your friends

Comedy -Umm not really
comdey is about a five-year-old girl during the irish war of independence who went in search of the mysterious Demon’s Castle. She wanted to recruit the infamous Black Swordsman, who was portrayed as a dark, skilled, swordsman. She wanted the swordsman to protect her village from an imminent attack by English soldiers; however, the Black Swordsman would only accept a particular genre of books as payment for his services. Upon receiving the book, the swordsman engulfed himself in reading the novel. While the girl anxiously waited for the Black Swordsman to finish the novel, the English approached the Irish village. As an attack was imminent, the Black Swordsman finished the novel and rushed to intercept the skirmish, where he quickly finished off the English soldiers. The bodies vanished; the girl knew where to probaly hell, but the swordsman told her not to not tell anybody about it, or he would kill her and probaly gut her like a fish. Umm besides the fact that i dont remember any swordsmen in ireland during history class englsih eyes dont glow and it was a bit slow for a 10 minute short it was really good the animation was breath taking never before have i seen anime that dealed with irish history
