The Murder Game

Shocking,i know!! Acting was a bit cheesy at points, gore was overkill, but the twist at the end got me! Of course i entered this, jaded as all get out with teen slasher horror (oh, btw, one guy is balding,so that was terrible casting,as these were supposed to ve high schoolers. He looked like their teacher) but that twist!! I liked the game concept,but the plot hole of the game is "what happens if you kill the killer before the killer kills all?" overall, i ended up enjoying the revelations and ultimate outcome. Not the worst movie i have seen lately,and i've been watching a ton,so there is that.

So it isn't a disappointing high budget production full of eye candy! It is a simple story made with a low budget that is very good! Not original,but surprising enough! There are some some twists that cannot be predicted! I have to admit that after seeing the intro I thought that the movie wasn't going to be good! This due to really bad acting from some characters! But once "The murder game" starts you will be able to ignore that! It is obvious that these actors aren't experienced! But even so they should at least learn to act natural! One example! Two girls discover that one of their friends is murdered! One girl starts to cry the other reacts like she didn't even know the guy! Later when another friend arrives who is shocked by this fact gets the response to get over it because they already been through the whole process! Maybe this was meant to be funny! But if I would find out that one of my best friends has been murdered I wouldn't get over it in a few seconds! If this was done better than it would have made the movie more thrilling! However this bad acting is more than enough compensated by the wonderful plot! People who like slasher/ horror movies will get a kick out of this movie since it does a good job in playing with certain elements of this genre! Especially the satisfying ending! "The Murder Game" is a very entertaining thriller that is worth watching!

very entertaining, lots of twists that made for a GREAT ending not to mention how h-o-t the red head is.....d-a-m-n...can't wait to buy it! So unlike anything i've seen in years - acting wasn't terrible and the effects were kick ass for such a small budget film! I hope that this film gets as much credit as it deserves!very entertaining, lots of twists that made for a GREAT ending not to mention how h-o-t the red head is.....d-a-m-n...can't wait to buy it!

I have seen a LOT of films this year, but very few of them even come close to this film. It fools you into thinking it's starting out simple enough, but once it gets moving, HOLD ON! Plot twists, surprises, red herrings, the works! And you'll NEVER guess the ending. It just moves like greased lightning. It's got sexy good looking people, one of the smartest scripts I've seen in a while, and directing that is right in tune with the big Hollywood blockbusters. I had a chance to chat with director Robert Harari, and he's a man with a plan. He knows what good film-making is and all the tech stuff, but even more importantly, he knows how to make a film work. His chops are razor sharp. It was like watching The Empire Stikes Back. It hits its groove, takes off, and never lets up for a second. And just when you think you have it all figured out, it turns out to be something else. Really, really GREAT film-making.

I've been waiting awhile and looking forward to what director Robert Harari had in store for us with this movie. Having seen previous films he had worked on one way or the other, I knew he was a true fan of the genre and wouldn't let us down, and I was right!

The Murder Game gives horror fans what they need; a mystery to solve and plenty of gore! Any film that makes me yell "rock on" after a death scene scores double points in my book!

The story was straightforward, the acting, while every so often slightly cheesy, didn't have me running away from the screen pulling out my hair. Extra kudos to the F/X department for some amazing effects and the use of plenty of blood. And the ending, my kind of ending indeed (I won't say anymore on that topic)
