Knights of Badassdom red light

Supernatural slasher haunts a live-action role-playing game. The cast is clearly having fun, but none of it rubs off on us; Peter Dinklage and Steve Zahn are completely squandered.
I’m “biast” (pro): love Dinklage and Zahn

I’m “biast” (con): the trailer made it look stupid

(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)

It’s the return of MAJ’s Short Takes! Or was it Short Cuts. Either way, yay!

These are even shorter. The quick takes were ending up as long as short reviews.

Well, to be fair, Dinklage has a cool scene at the end. He is mostly wasted though. Then again, I laughed out loud at nearly his every line.
