poster makes this movie look like AHSS!!


It looks freaking horrible... How do people not know that what they are making sucks?

I've seen some bad B-C+ movies in my time, but this makes them look like Oscar contenders. Watch the trailer, it makes the poster look fantastic. One guys wig looks like its from the Spinal Tap castoffs, the special effects are atrocious. I can't believe that people actually raised 200k to get this finished. The best thing they could have done was buy a gallon of gas, throw the reels in a barrel and light the thing on fire - at least that would have been better effects. I can understand newbie actors doing whatever project they can for the money, but James Marsters and Luke Perry must have been really hard up for cash or a job to keep their SAG cards.

Canon is only canon until the writers change the rules. (See Doctor Who)

that's what happens when you try to make a heavy sfx movie with a kickstarter budget.

I don't know why people bother. If they were smart they'd use practical effects, and develop a movie with a story that doesn't need a lot of it.

I guarantee if they went that route it'd look 100x better. Because the jokes do look funnier than all those other spoof movies hollywood pumps out. It's just too bad the *beep* cgi is such a turn off.

The movie 'Your Highness' with James Franco and Natalie Portman is basically exactly that: A fantasy-comedy with monsters, barbarians etc. - and with seriously AMAZING visual effects. It's very underrated.

This one (Dudes and Dragons) could work if it was written better. And yeah... why not shoot scenes in REAL forests, quarries and sets? On the other hand - if you USE the bad CGI to enhance the comedic effect, it MIGHT work...
