    Live action roleplay (LARP) enthusiasts have waited a long time for the release of Knights of Badassdom, directed by Joe Lynch and starring True Blood's Ryan Kwanten, Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage and Firefly's Summer Glau. And as the film's latest trailer proudly declares, "Thy wait is over!"

    Knights of Badassdom stars Kwanten as ne'er-do-well Joe, whose high school sweetheart Beth (Revenge's Margarita Levieva) dumps him for not aspiring to become something more than a part-time mechanic and wannabe doom-metal musician. Luckily, Joe's LARP-obsessed buddies Eric (Steve Zahn) and Hung (Dinklage) are there to lift his spirits with too much whiskey and a killer bong.

    When Joe wakes up the next morning, he finds himself dressed in armor at a local campsite, where Eric and Hung have dragged him to one of their LARP events. After some convincing, Joe comes around to joining a team that includes himself, Eric and Hung, as well as the formidable Gwen (Glau), Gamemaster Ronnie (Date Night's Jimmi Simpson) and the weaselly Lando (Community's Danny Pudi).

    However, trouble arises when the group unwittingly conjures up a real-life succubus that takes the form of Beth. From there, chaos ensues as the hungry demon picks off LARPers one by one, and Joe and the others fend for their lives. Peter Dinklage (left) and Ryan Kwanten (right)As the premise suggests, Knights of Badassdom takes a very meta-horror approach to its outlandish story, not unlike a Jennifer's Body or Piranha 3D. For the most part, the movie embraces the lighter side of LARPing, which works to its advantage most of the time. Naturally, it pokes some fun at the medieval-themed activity -- in-game conversations, for example, are frequently played for laughs. But as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Knights' ribbing is done out of love. In that way, it feels a bit like Role Models -- which also had a LARPing element -- though not quite as funny.

    With names like Peter Dinklage, Summer Glau and Ryan Kwanten attached, Knights of Badassdom offers a bloody and distinctive take on the meta-horror subgenre. That said, its depiction of LARPing isn't quite as comedically sharp as Role Models', nor as hard-hitting as Darkon's, say. Nevertheless, Knights might entertain on some level thanks to its de...
