So bad it is so good
This movie is so bad it is funny and it was made that way. They went out of their way to do it that way. It is more of a spoof.
 Turn the cheese level up on this one. Also it is all in spanish with subtitles. If you want a movie to mock while watching this is it. Saying that this movie is the type you only watch once to say you did it.

Probably One of The Weirdest
This is one of the weirdest movies I ever found myself watching and because of it I honestly cannot describe which parts were good and which parts were bad. The film was hilarious if you were looking for a bad rendition of the 80s going in but otherwise you just end up with a weird twisted 80s movie put to weird techno remixes made into musical vibing tunes.... Yeah definitely one of the weirder watches out there.

A good (bad) horror movie
I like bad horror movies. So when I had zero expectations of this movie and it surpassed them, I was satisfied. It is clunkily-written, makes no real sense, and has no sense of urgency, yet it is fun and full of good zombie action.

This prequel takes place in 1998 and has a ton of nods to the video games, even though they don't make sense. And that's fine. I enjoyed it for what it was.

Great Bluffing Game!
Avalon is an enhancement to the Resistance,l (which in turn is a revision of Mafia/Werewolf) as it includes special player roles. This card game requires players to select a card each, which tells them if they are a good character (loyal servant of King Arthur) or a bad character (minion of Mordred), which defines how they play the game. As a good guy, you must try and succeed 3 of 5 missions, whilst the bad guys will try to make the missions fail. No one knows who the other good guys are, except for the player who receives the Merlin card. Merlin knows who the good guys are, and will therefore try to persuade the group towards ensuring only the good guys go on missions. However, there is a special role for the bad guys too. If the bad guys lose, the player who is the Assassin has a last chance to claim victory for the bad guys, if the Assassin can guess who Merlin is. Therefore, Merlin has to be subtle, otherwise the bad guys will win.

This is essentially a bluffing game where you just convince others that you are good and, inevitably, accuse others of being bad. This game, for the right group, is hours of fun! You need a ln engaged group of people who are willing to chat and be enthusiastic about engaging with this; the game and fun C Mrs from this interaction, and layer dissecting who was good and bad and how they fooled or misled everyone. I thoroughly recommend this game for gateway gamers i.e. those making the transition from everyday well known games such as Monopoly, to more designer games that have flourished over the past 20 years or so.

This game, whilst great, falters at lower or highest playcounts. At the lower end, it is very difficult to play as a bad guy, unless you use other roles included in the game. At the higher gamecount, things get very confusing and overly exhausting. However, this is an exceptional game and is likely only bettered as a bluffing game by the soon to be released Blood on the Clocktower.

I have played this hundreds of time, with the same group of people. Whilst I am now fatigued by the game, given this game only costs around £15, it is a solid investment for so many hours of fun.

This was...interesting. Not bad, just different. It took a while to get into it and I still don't know what the "girls" purpose was, but it definitely kept me intrigued until the very end.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't spectacular, story-wise. All of the beasts were great, though. It's a decent addition to the story world, but I think it had the potential to be much better.
