Trama e commenti: nientepopcorn.it - it.film-cine.com - dragonslair.it: «Però il tizio che esplode in una nuvola di gelato alla fragola merita, dai...» - comunidadumbria.com: «Tercera película de la serie Dungeons & Dragonss (si, de verdad, esto es lo que pone en la web de filmaffinity). A modo de resumen, el prota es el último caballero de una orden que protege su mundo de los poderes de la oscuridad y tendrá que unirse a un grupo de mercenarios malvados para rescatar a su padre y acabar con los malos. La película es mala, eso es indiscutible, pero es que es un telefilm. Aunque si te gusta el mundo de Dragones y Mazmorras lo vas a flipar con los efectos especiales, las pociones, hechizos y demás cosas relacionadas con el juego de rol. Eso no quita que el guión y la trama de la película sea bastante mala. Pero al menos resulta entretenida de ver y no te entran ganas de cortarte las venas, no demasiado (se entiende). La trama del protagonista, el último caballero de la orden me recuerda muchísimo al juego de rol polaris pero el parecido se queda en la disposición inicial. Y el inicio de la película os va recordar mucho a las intros de juegos como baldur´s gate o neverwinter. En resumen, una película mala pero disfrutable. Algo similar a lo que me paso con dagon, la secta del mar que la considero muy mala película y una excelente recreación de los mitos de cthulhu».

The subtitle is shared with a supplemental source book and a magic item found in the game. 2000 years ago, Nhagruul the Foul, a sorcerer who reveled in corrupting the innocent and the spread of despair, neared the end of his mortal days and was dismayed. Consumed by hatred for the living, Nhagruul sold his soul to the demon Lords of the abyss so that his malign spirit would survive. In an excruciating ritual, Nhagruuls skin was flayed into pages, his bones hammered into a cover, and his diseased blood became the ink to pen the Book of Vile Darkness. All those exposed to the book were driven to madness or so corrupted by the wicked knowledge contained within that they had no choice but to turn evil. Misery and bloodshed followed the disciples of Nhagruul as they spread their Master's dark dream. Creatures vile and depraved rose from every pit and unclean barrow to partake in the fever of destruction. The cities and kingdoms of Karkoth were consumed by this plague of evil until an order of warriors, the Knights of the New Sun arose from the ashes. The Knights swore an oath to resurrect hope in the land and the purity of their hearts was so great that Pelor, the God of Light, gave the Knights powerful amulets with which to channel his power. Transcendent with divine might, the Knights of the New Sun pierced the shadow that had darkened the land for twelve hundred years and cast it asunder. The disciples of Nhagruul disassembled the book and bribed three greedy souls to hide the pieces until they could be retrieved. The ink was discovered and destroyed but, despite years of searching, the cover and pages were never found. Peace ruled the land for centuries and the Knights got lost in the light of their own glory allowing their power as servants of Pelor to weaken. ...».
