Nice little low budget thriller
So it isn't a disappointing high budget production full of eye candy! It is a simple story made with a low budget that is very good! Not original,but surprising enough! There are some some twists that cannot be predicted! I have to admit that after seeing the intro I thought that the movie wasn't going to be good! This due to really bad acting from some characters! But once "The murder game" starts you will be able to ignore that! It is obvious that these actors aren't experienced! But even so they should at least learn to act natural! One example! Two girls discover that one of their friends is murdered! One girl starts to cry the other reacts like she didn't even know the guy! Later when another friend arrives who is shocked by this fact gets the response to get over it because they already been through the whole process! Maybe this was meant to be funny! But if I would find out that one of my best friends has been murdered I wouldn't get over it in a few seconds! If this was done better than it would have made the movie more thrilling! However this bad acting is more than enough compensated by the wonderful plot! People who like slasher/ horror movies will get a kick out of this movie since it does a good job in playing with certain elements of this genre! Especially the satisfying ending! "The Murder Game" is a very entertaining thriller that is worth watching!
