All Fun and Games

Regardless of how weak the story is. The sound for me made it almost unwatchable I have a state of the art sound system a sony bravia oled tv And while it looked great the mix made Me have to adjust volume constantly Even with dialoge enhancement on .or off i tried it all the levels were so bad I thought the acting was good considering what they had to do or say I so wanted to like this A rather interesting idea for a horror movie. Not the same 4 friends in a remote cabin, or found footage garbage. The premise had promise but alas did not live up to the movie i had in my head Oh well. They tried.

We visit Salom again in yet another low budget horror fling.

This time our young star of the film Jo, finds a knife made from a human bone after breaking into an old eerie shack. Oh he finds a book of chants and spell like things aswell.

Well you get the drift of it all then. Lights flicker and spooky voices are heard after he takes them home. It's all very predictable from there. Someone gets possessed and chases everyone whilst pulling funny faces and walking like he's shat himself. Ghosts of witches past make the odd appearance to add to the atmosphere and people die All very predictable.

Hard-core horror fans may find something to like,but it was all a bit samey for me.

Why did I even press play? Who let Asa Butterfield star in a horror movie? Why did I even finish this? Are some of the questions I have in my mind after finishing "All Fun and Games". Incredibly disappointed, even though I went in with low expectations. Full of cliches and cringeworthy moments. This movie made me question if these actors were actually good in the first place. I loved Benjamin Evan Ainsworth in Bly Manor, but he definitely wasn't up to par here. Also, Annabeth Gish, you're amazing, what are you doing here? I'm not even going to start on Asa Butterfield. Spare your time, hell, watch a romantic comedy, even they're less predictable. I'd highly recommend you skip this one and watch something worthy of your time instead.

Rather boring and predictable. I suppose it's worth a watch if you're really bored and can't find anything else to watch. Not much else to say other than that.. Around 3/4 in I was ready to switch it off and find something else to watch but figured I've gotten this far so I might as well watch the rest. Pretty difficult nowadays to find good horror movies so I guess I'm not surprised. Too bad though I think this could have been a much better movie if it had been given a little more effort. It feels kind of rushed and more like a goosebumps episode designed for teenagers rather than an actual horror movie.

When I sat down to watch the 2023 horror movie "All Fun and Games" here in 2024, I had never actually heard about it. But I was drawn to it, given its cover. And of course with it being a horror movie that I hadn't seen, then I would take the time to sit down and watch it.

Writers J. J. Braider, Eren Celeboglu add Ari Costa put together a fair enough script. It certainly was an entertaining enough movie, though I have to say that it wasn't really a script that brought much of anything new to the horror genre. Now, that doesn't make "All Fun and Games" a poor movie, far from it, but it just was contents that has been seen and done before in other movies. But I will say that "All Fun and Games" was entertaining enough for what it turned out to be.

Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with actress Annabeth Gish. It should be noted, however, that the acting performances in the movie were good. And they did have a great cast ensemble put together for the various roles and characters.

The effects in the movie are fairly good. It wasn't a movie that relied heavily on special effects though, for better or worse. So you're not in for 76 minutes of extraordinary special effects galore, if that is your thing.

While "All Fun and Games" was a watchable movie, it is hardly a movie that I will return to watch a second time. I will say, though, that the movie is worth sitting down and watching if you are a hardcore horror fan.

My rating of "All Fun and Games" lands on a five out of ten stars.
