Headgame

The premise and story was fun, but the constant rotating pan shots took me out of the movie.

Seriously, did no one consider I dunno....... Climbing the damn pallets?!?!?

Few good ideas. I enjoyed the musical score and some of the acting wasn't bad.

But, it was such an incredibly dumb movie in so many groan out loud ways (too many to list) that it shatters any sense of escapism or interest early on.

Still, I've watched much, much worse. Especially recently!

If this kind of horror floats your boat then give it a go, me personally...... I'd find something else.

Tediously boring virtually from beginning to the end. Whats with the vaping - Death by vape what a crock!

Awful acting from the off with the possible exception of the Noomi Rapace lookalike. Digital cameras embedded in yer heid full of acid? C'mon who thought this turkey up and wrote this totality of tragic tosh needs to go back to writing school.

The whole premise has been done to death its like a bad merging of The Purge and Hostel with non of the talent of either in any area!

Its one of those "wish i had listened to the 1/10 reviews". Nuff said; watch it at your peril!

Headgame is one of those horror movies that falls into the sub genre I adore. Where you have a series of people who wake up and are forced to play a deadly game (Such as SAW, Cube, Circle and The Human Race)

Upon realising that's what this is I became rather excited. It tells the story of a group who wake up with camera's attached their foreheads. If they tamper with it they will get shocked, if they remove it the vial of acid set within will kill them.

They are told that only one can survive and that the exit will not open until there is only one survivor. So you know the drill, all hell breaks loose.

Trouble is I think the "Hell" occurs too fast and it's all rather uninventive. Then we have the finale which is multi-tiered and it's a real mixed bag.

You see I'm not sure if I like it, I think that because of the concept (Which is actually quite good) this really needs to become a franchise.

The likelihood of a Headgame 2 is pretty damn remote and that's a shame as this being a single standalone movie it simply isn't meeting its potential.

Headgame is a watchable effort for fans of the subgenre but is just above average compared to others.

The Good:

Very clever twists

Great concept

The Bad:

Don't know how I feel about the ending

Distinctly average for the most part

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Having a lense attached to your head comple with vial of acid will leave no scarring or marks of any sort

Terrible acting. Terrible story. Terrible period. Do NOT believe all these fake reviews.
