Headgame

I enjoyed watching this more than the latest Jigsaw (2017) movie. it's predictable, low-budget stuff but if you are after a fun, watch-with-a-friend, low-expectation flick, then give this a go. I mostly look forward to reading others' reviews, mostly

There is almost nothing to like in this movie. The set up and plot is something you have seen before, but this is probably the worst iteration of it I have ever come across. The concept of the cameras in their head could have /maybe/ been cool it 1) the makeup effects were any good. It didn't even look remotely like a camera lens, and it definitely didn't appear to actually be in their head, meerly pasted to it, and 2) if they had actually used that gimmick to steer the direction in a new direction. But they only show about two shots in the whole film that are supposedly from those cameras. If you're going to have a gimmick at least use it! Furthermore, when the camera is removed from the winner there should be a massive scar left from the giant hole that would have been made to insert the camera and yet none exists.

The script is contrived and offers nothing in the way of story or character development. It's the typical paint-by-numbers for movies like these. The acting is bland and basic. There arent even any good kills to keep this movie enjoyable or worth watching. I can forgive a lot of terrible things in a movie if they have some good, gory and entertaining kills. This movie has none of that. It fails at every level of filmmaking. First and foremost, it fails to be even the slightest bit entertaining. Not even worth a watch to waste time.

I guess the camera stayed in focus, so a star for that I guess.

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

I've noticed the people who give 1's and 2's to an ok scary movie aren't really massive fans of the horror genre. However to be fair as well I would have scored this movie a lot lower if not for the surprise twist at the end. Worth an extra 4 or 5 out of 10. There is absolutely no way anyone could have seen it coming. I do agree that it had its tedious moments and plot holes but then again It was saved by the ending. I say give it a watch if you're feeling spoilt for choice, you won't walk away disappointed.

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!
