Juego siniestro

Legit could guess when the jumpscare comes from. Cliche cliche cliche absolutely nothing original. Even the sounds werent original, they were taken from some free to use scary sounds since I could recognize them instantly. The stupid scary music for no reason. Everything was just soooo bad

As of 28 December 2019 movie has subtitles. This is my first ever review after rating 6768 movies.

Just because it is paced slower that other movies is no reason to give it a low rating. I just don't get the the folks that rant and rave the movie is so slow, bad acting, blah blah blah. One reviewer called it a "reasonable" horror film and I totally agree with that assessment. It builds slow and doesn't come crashing down in a gigantic blood soaked finale but along the way it has a few chills, enough to make it enjoyable on a cold blustery winter day!

Surprisingly enough, this horror movie didn't make it to the top like many other Spanish horror titles do. Bad acting, characterisation and plot make it a painful popcorn-time from the very beginning.

Spanish movies are normally awesome in all senses (photography, story, actors, twists, etc), but this one really fails to bright in all these departments. If you wish to try really good Spanish movies, go for THE BODY (EL CUERPO), THE INVISIBLE GUEST (CONTRATIEMPO), SLEEP TIGHT (MIENTRAS DUERMES) or even REC, just to mention a few. Juego Siniestro is not a good way to start.

No subtitles, all in Spanish. It's probably really good but without knowing what they're saying, it make zero sense.

I found myself drifting to other things. I'd force myself to come back to it because I HATE starting a movie and not finish but this one... The acting was, ok. Directing, fairly decent. It was the script that was the downfall I think of this movie.

Sure, the almighty Ouija board concept has been done to death but there was some ideas here that could have made it a bit different and more watchable.

I would have given two more stars had the script been better written, and another for acting because with a better script the actors would have better material to work with. That said, I must say that Matías Raygada (Julio), at least in this movie, was not a very impressive child actor and I'm not sure a better script could have saved his performance.
