Featured reviews
You can hear the audio popping in and out, terrible sparkle effects used frequently in the movie, really horrible acting, poor sound quality in general, stupid characters, incoherent plot, and the camera angles are trash. Half the time it's a 2 minute camera view with no transitions. At times you can't see the face of who's talking. Awkward dialog... it's all so great. I'm so happy people decided to put time and effort into this trash...
It's unbelievably horrid and I enjoyed every second of it. It rivals Troll 2 in my book.
WARNING, Side affects of watching this movie may include: Insomnia, Nightmares, Hallucinations, Nausea, Vomiting, Severe Internal Hemorrhaging, Brain Decay, Diarrhea, Headaches, and a very possible state of Coma. Not meant to be watched in the presence of children age ten or younger. If such an event occurs call an ambulance immediately but by then it's probably too late. Your child has already been scarred.
If you are looking for a film worth watching, this is not the one. I would not even characterize this as a B movie; D or F seems more appropriate to me.
The plot moves along nicely enough, filled with bad lines (i.e. "The strongest bond between friends is friendship"), stagnant acting from most, and topped off with Roddy Piper's accent - a mash-up of Tom Waits and Christian Bale's "Batman" voice.
Any fan of b-movies should add this to their must-see as a blatant Harry Potter knock-off with parts Narnia, parts Goonies, and parts SyFy Thor with extra cheese.

- Quotes
Mandy Finch: Now, this may not be the story of knights in shining armor, but dragons and heroes it certainly has. This is my friend Billy, and today on his 11th birthday, the fate of Spirit River will land in his hands. Spirit River is one of the oldest towns on the eastern seaboard. And legend has it, if you believe in that kind of stuff, that it's where the Vikings first came ashore in the New World. Now, trying to save a whole town isn't an easy job for an 11-year-old, but luckily Billy had some help, from us. That's me and my other friend Devon. And this is our story.
