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

Apps abnormalities and such Serial Experiement Lain
Serial experiment lain directed by Ryutaro Nakamura made in 1998 is what some people say cyberpunk in the decade . The series revolves around a world similar to our own but instead of using the internet uses a communication system called the wired which itself is a anagram for the weird Lain is a normal yet naive girl who becomes entrapped in series of strange events involves her school and family members .The series back then may have been cyberpunk and fantasy but in now a days its normal using terms such as apps and the wired to do so many things compared what the internet could do back then I believe the series explains the reason why a god could exist in this reality . As the series progresses it shows more symbolism involving what is your identity and social masking . The general plot of the series gets stranger mixing facts and real live snippets creating a sense where you question yourself as an identity and self worth . As for animation they use a dull bleak style of artwork using elements of small computer graphics to enhance the cyberpunk feel of the show enforcing the story even more . the music is a solid mixture of techno and the opening was done by a british group called boa called duvet which feels similar to alot of the musician dido
