This is not a movie for ordinary people

This is a movie for the LARP audience.
The plot is cliché and the special effects are sloppy, but if you know LARP, none of that is a problem.
Ordinary people think that the gamers are dead houses, the gamers think that the runners are antiques, and the runners think that the LARPs are lunatics.
A group of lunatics who pursue the ultimate in acting, a group of neurotics who are more involved than actors (233 thumbs up for the cousin who never goes beyond the game).
To summon real magic in the game, I think that every LARPer who plays fantasy wind secretly expects in their hearts, and this film can be said to be such a hypothetical brain hole film. Although it was said that after the appearance of Sister Succubus, the plot moved to a B-grade horror movie, but the reaction of the victims when they saw her at first was quite good ("You are those players who play vampire LARP? Next Saturday is your event. ~")... So in the end, when the big monster appeared, the crowd rushed up with the foam sword at first, and it was only when they died that they realized that something was wrong. And the group of LARPer in the shootout, it was full of laughter.
But the protagonist is still a current charge in the end. Although he was caught by two housemates to play, the result was that he "smashed his ex-girlfriend" and met a current charge girl who "accompanyed his cousin by the way". And in the end, defeating the big devil with Doom Metal is completely the rhythm of the screenwriter who doesn't know how to get CR7 and has to play CG. In the end, the current protagonist played music with the girl, and no longer LARPing... It's really dull.
