The idea was good, the intention was there, but the execution missed the mark.
This horror/supernatural film is set in the 1971 and has a genuine 70s feel to it, particularly the pre-credits scene. It's odd they opted not to stay with that vibe for the rest of the movie.
Overall, a well made film and the acting is strong. Georgia Acken is outstanding in her feature film debut and the rest of the cast are believable.
My issues with the movie are threefold. Firstly, it's violent and gory, but not scary or even creepy. Secondly, the twist is a little silly and barely makes sense. Lastly, I didn't really feel emotionally connected with any of the characters.

Ok, so this one had a lot of good things going for it, the acting I genuinely think was good, nice characters that did their job, the annoying ones did annoy you and you did root for the good guys.
The plot is simple but on point, nice flow in the development, yet something was just a little off. It could be that the twist reveals itself perhaps too early, even tho it is on purpose. Maybe we just didn't have the proper time invested in everybody's plan in order to emphasis enough.
Whatever it is, for me The Sacrifice Game is an ok movie but definitely not something to recommend. Even for the Christmas horror list, I'm sure you've been a good girl/boy and deserve better. If I could put my finger on something, I think it's on the fact that it does come off as boring and a little pretentious at times. A lot of unnecessary dialogue that we could have done without and maybe less focus on explicit violence.
So there, I did found a few, flaws, in my opinion.
But if you do enjoy it, I would totally understand. I think it is indeed a well done movie, a lot of effort and passion was put into it, but sadly not my coup of tea.
Cheers!

This is watchable and some of the attempts to recreate 1971 are decent, in fact the film seems partially intended to pay homage to the 1972 version of The Last House on the Left. However, fuzzy coats and greasy hair aside, other than the school's Hammer-esque sitting room The Sacrifice Game isn't at all convincingly 70s. Maybe if you're twelve years old? I can see how being born after 2000 would contribute to this uneven mess of a Christmas horror film.
The other obvious "tribute" I see here is a much more recent film - The Blackcoat's Daughter, but that 2015 supernatural possession horror film blows this mediocre effort completely out of the water.

1) There are two kind of horror movies. The scary ones and the ones which can be called : "A fun ride". I like both of them. THE SACRIFICE GAME is not scary but it is a fun ride. Enjoy it for what it is. I appreciated the fact that there were no cheap jump scares. Characters were not making stupid decisions either. Everything felt natural, at least for a horror movie. Ok, a specific character made an absurd decision towards the ending but it is not something unusual for this genre.
2) Another positive here : There were likeable characters. And the villains were really evil and you were rooting for their downfall. I can't stand watching a horror movie in which every character is disgusting or unlikeable and you kinda root for the villain to kill them all. Things are pretty clear here. Of course, there is a big twist but still, it made this movie more interesting.
3) Acting is above average for a horror movie. Georgia Acken can be a great actress in the future, her role was the most demanding. Of course, this is not the most convincing and realistic movie of the world and viewers won't feel anxiety and agony, but there is no need for nitpicking. It's a horror movie.
4) This is not a MUST WATCH movie, it's not scary neither exciting and if you think about it, you will find a lot of flaws. (For example, the whole thing about the photographs and a specific person..). Lower your expectations and you will enjoy it, some reviewers are unnecessary harsh. This is a movie that respect its viewers.

Quick review: The opening scene in 'The Sacrifice Game' is a reasonably well done scene. Unfortunately that's about as good as the film gets and it's all downhill from there. Once we get into the school scenes the movie becomes a bit of slug-fest to get through.
It's quite a bizarre movie in that I really don't know who we were supposed to be rooting for. You'll understand this if/when you watch it. I can't remember many movies like this where everything flip flops and you are left with no real protagonist.
Regardless, the film didn't work for me I'm sad to say. It wasn't scary, or funny and I really don't know how seriously it was taking itself. It wasn't obvious. 4/10.
