Stupid Games

What starts as a casual evening soon turns into an unpredictable night of wine, conversation, and a game of Quest for Truth Minutia.

The pacing of the film is a bit sluggish at first. It takes almost an hour to get to the good stuff, while many horror films usually hit their stride by the 30-minute mark. The build-up feels overly drawn out, leaving you wanting more action after the long wait.

In comparison to most horror flicks that tend to dive into the thrills earlier, this one feels more like a drawn-out build, leaving you a bit impatient for the suspense to finally kick in.

All in all Stupid Games is fun and hits creepy moments just right in the third act. Worth a watch!

Very mediocre horror film with bad acting. I couldn't even get through a third of the film. I was really dissappointed as I am a big horror film fan. The game prop was cool in the film but the writing and acting were lacking. The movie drags on and can be slow at times, and it very hard to get through. I didn't have high expectations for a budget film but this one is unwatchable.

The board game concept reminded me a lot off ouija boards. The characters in the film play a boardgame at a dinner party and it summons a evil force. And the evil entity forces the characters to play the board game for their survival. The vibe of the film reminded me a bit of 90s horror films.

Tubi will never cease to surprise me with the vast array of movies they have to offer. This indie horror peaked my curiosity upon seeing the poster...The pacing felt a bit too stretched out, leaving you itching for something more exciting to happen after the lengthy build-up, but once the game made its long awaited appearance things got more interesting. Also WHO has that many candles in a single apartment? WOW.

Unlike your typical horror flicks that start off with a bang, this one takes its time to ease you in, leaving you bouncing in your seat, thinking, "Come on, something spooky has to happen soon." and then it sorta does, and while the scares are scarce, the horror atmosphere is top notch!

By the end of "Stupid Games" redeems itself and it's definitely a fun watch-if you've got the patience of a saint and the thirst for horror, that is.

I bet tbe farm that any rating over 2 is by friends and family of people involved.

If there was a director they gave free reign to the worst wannabe actors on the planet.

Nobody behaves like these people. The women acted like insipid trollops. Bad overacting. They did their impression of brainless groupies.

The men were all dumb geeks. Every character was a cartoon of actual human beings.

I was ready to turn it off after 15 minutes. The dialog was unbearably stupid.

I'm not sure what the storyline was because none of this dumpster fire made any sense.

Zero suspense, zero character buildup, empty, shallow people being ridiculous.

Enjoy.

Independent films are hard to compete with the big dog studio films typically due to money and time. This indie horror defied many odds in my opinion having a very talented eye behind the camera, incredible lighting, and a twist on a concept that is relatable to many. Are there moments that you feel choices were made based on what they had, yes, but that doesn't take away from the experience or make it less entertaining which is where some lower budget films can lose me. The characters were developed as well as can be with 90% of the story staying in one location and Stanley really steals the show for me. Overall really well done here and hope to see more from Director Nicolas Wendl, Producer Dani Abraham, and writer Tanner Adams. Maybe a Stupid Games 2 and a bigger budget?
