It's a low budget DRAGON and to be brutally honest there's just no way to put a positive spin on this other than to say DRAGON, an painfully awful movie or merely a pain?  You be the judge: review.

Who has seen this?  Did you make it all the way through it or did you give up in disgust?

Dragon was the first film I did a website collaboration with, and the first Asylum mockbuster I saw.  When we watched it we were rather cruel to Leigh Scott, but over time it became clear that the problem wasn't with him but with The Asylum.  Transmorphers was pretty good despite it's limitations (and the fact the company screwed up and shipped it with out of sync audio) and even Invasion of the Pod People was better than it should have been.  Leigh Scott is known to pop up on message boards that mention his films, including the IMDB, Dreadcentral, and Retromedia, so if you wanted to ask him questions he's probably accessable.  He also did podcast interview on YourVideoStoreShelf.com (that site is currently down but will be back soon.)  To see how much he's probably missed the recent non-Leigh Scott Asylum films Alien vs. Hunter and Monster have gotten some of the lowest review marks I've seen from them.

The film itself reminded me a lot of the Dungeons and Dragons DTV sequel, and it was completely different from Eragon, the film it was mockbusting (which is good, I think direct copies are lame)  They manage to look a step above wandering in the forest with your LARP friends, but the budget limits keep them from doing much too exciting.
