Kill Game

The movie doesn't really stand out since the idea itself has been done before like a hundred times. I know what you did last summer meet scream kind of thing. The acting was mediocre at best (some parts were really awful, with a few good moments here and there) also, did they say a group of good looking friends? Because even that is questionable (there was like maybe 2 eye candies) it had the potential to be good, but it just fell flat and character development was almost non existent that I didn't feel sorry for anyone that died, they're not likeable people, but maybe that's the point? Also, the cops are really dumb and a lot of the decisions made by the characters were just stupid. Was it the worst hour and a half I spent? Definitely not.. While I did enjoy some moments (and the design of the mask was cool I thought) overall I don't necessarily recommend. Also, it wanted you to wonder who the killer might be, but to me it was kinda obvious from the beginning who it was...

You know the saying "What goes around, comes around" ? That really applies to seven friends who graduated together and share a terrible secret with each other. Until the group of friends slowly starts to shrink, because they are murdered one by one. Now, when hearing the stories of these annoying bullies, you're inclined to think they had it coming. Because the tricks they played upon their fellow students (and even teachers), wasn't something to be taken lightly. Those jokes were so radical, a fellow student got killed. And now there appears to be someone who wants to take revenge on this gang of clowns. And the way they are killed, is linked to a particular joke they've pulled.

"Kill Game" isn't an unbelievable good horror. But it tries to honour the traditions of the better hacker / slasher films from the 70s (for instance "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th"). So this means that a group of stupid and arrogant teenagers is gathered again to serve as cattle for slaughter. And the mysterious serial killer wears a grim mask, of course. In this case, it's a Marilyn Monroe mask. Also a list of all candidate murderers is needed. This list may turn out to be exceptionally long. After counting all fellow students and teachers who were victims of a malicious prank, you'll get a significant number of candidates. And as a highlight, the twin brother of the poor devil who didn't survive a joke appears.

But beyond these few similarities with older slasher films, this is a film that effortlessly will sink into oblivion. Anyhow, the lousy acting (inherent to this kind of films) and the not so original story-line are also present. What remains is a typical game of guessing who's the perpetrator, what's the motive and who'll eventually survive. And there's also someone whose profile complies with the characteristics of the perpetrator. Obviously that's a wrong assumption. How surprising! Indeed, a stack of known clichés. The only thing that remains is how the victims were killed. So, it isn't exactly breathtaking cinema. The only thing I've learned out of this movie, is that it isn't very smart to bully others.

Pros It's shot semi competently The acting could be worse.

Main Cons (without spoilers) It felt like at least 50 scenes were missing from the movie despite it being so long. Someone would do something or die and then in the next scene everyone would know about it despite most of the time not even a day had gone by. The flow of time was absolutely terrible.

Even if you wanted to try and guess the killer you can't since the movie is edited terribly. It's absolutely terribly paced.

The movie isn't scary, aside from one gruesome scene.

Scenes linger a bit too long.

Characters make a decision then 30 seconds later do the exact opposite.

The audio fades or isn't very clear at times.

Forced or awkward expository dialogue.

The ending (as well as most scenes) makes absolutely no sense and you could easily remove the last 20 minutes and it would make no difference.

The main story / plot doesn't make sense and technically shouldn't have been logically possible.

The reasons are: acting, for such a movie is better than one might expect. Tho it looks cheap the actors did their job as good as they could and they deserve a point for effort. Second the plot, tho used since the 90s, has an overall, almost decent execution, it can stand for a horror, especially if you're not into this type too much. The killings are rip offs and repetitive but you do get to see them, and not too many low budget horrors show you the actual death of a character. And lastly, the costume is interesting, got my attention and I did wanted to see it more often.

Little else to say, it's a movie that has been made since I Know What You Did Last Summer, and it isn't the greatest copy cat out there, so no, I will not recommend it, but I have to say I've seen far worse. Did I enjoy it, had some fun, or managed to fill my 1.5 hour in a productive way? Don't think so.

But if you just want to see a horror movie because you love this genre and have to see all you can see, this might even seem like a little flick compared to others.

Cheers!

A graduating class decides to prank a classmate at the beach which ends up in tragedy. What really happened is covered up. Sometime later the classmates are starting to die one by one. Who knows what they did last summer and who is going to die next? As you can guess this has been done a few times before but what is a little different is a creepy Marilyn Monroe mask and personally catered deaths. The way you died reflected what you did.

It wasn't gory but a couple of scenes had you cringing. The effects were pretty good but the cast however was awful. What was well done was you were always wondering who was under the mask. You think you knew who it was but then alas.

I was amazed at how awful these kids were to everybody. You here all the cruel jokes they played on people as they try and figure out who it might be which makes you feel no remorse for them(You also wonder why they aren't dead already).

A couple of cool scenes is all you get in this one. It just feels like a been there done that kind of film. Avoid this one or maybe just watch the last 6 minutes.
