Kill Game

So good idea, some truly gross scenes, but the movie falls short in the mystery department. The plot doesn't come together well. Acting is meager. Production is okay. Nothing special. Could have been much more, but I'm guessing budgetary concerns left much to be imagined.

Pros It's shot semi competently The acting could be worse.

Main Cons (without spoilers) It felt like at least 50 scenes were missing from the movie despite it being so long. Someone would do something or die and then in the next scene everyone would know about it despite most of the time not even a day had gone by. The flow of time was absolutely terrible.

Even if you wanted to try and guess the killer you can't since the movie is edited terribly. It's absolutely terribly paced.

The movie isn't scary, aside from one gruesome scene.

Scenes linger a bit too long.

Characters make a decision then 30 seconds later do the exact opposite.

The audio fades or isn't very clear at times.

Forced or awkward expository dialogue.

The ending (as well as most scenes) makes absolutely no sense and you could easily remove the last 20 minutes and it would make no difference.

The main story / plot doesn't make sense and technically shouldn't have been logically possible.

Kids must fight of ghost who has come back for revenge. Wow, I have never read a plot like that one before. I thought the tittle looked good and wanted to give it a try. I did not expect much as the budget is only 5.000.000 USD, but it was much worse than I anticipated The script and acting could all have been better, but it was the overall product that disappointed the most. There is no originality in the story, just same ol jump scares as you get in any other horror movie. Further, there is much that should have been done differently. Personally, I did not like the costumes and the atmosphere was You need to give me a reason to pay and watch your movies. Don't just make a movie out of anything. I believe that the movie companies should stop wasting their resources on stuff like this and make some actual good horror movies.

I want to know who that man behind the mysterious mask is. I didn't understand the outcome of the movie. Who's the one who killed that person returned?

You know the saying "What goes around, comes around" ? That really applies to seven friends who graduated together and share a terrible secret with each other. Until the group of friends slowly starts to shrink, because they are murdered one by one. Now, when hearing the stories of these annoying bullies, you're inclined to think they had it coming. Because the tricks they played upon their fellow students (and even teachers), wasn't something to be taken lightly. Those jokes were so radical, a fellow student got killed. And now there appears to be someone who wants to take revenge on this gang of clowns. And the way they are killed, is linked to a particular joke they've pulled.

"Kill Game" isn't an unbelievable good horror. But it tries to honour the traditions of the better hacker / slasher films from the 70s (for instance "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th"). So this means that a group of stupid and arrogant teenagers is gathered again to serve as cattle for slaughter. And the mysterious serial killer wears a grim mask, of course. In this case, it's a Marilyn Monroe mask. Also a list of all candidate murderers is needed. This list may turn out to be exceptionally long. After counting all fellow students and teachers who were victims of a malicious prank, you'll get a significant number of candidates. And as a highlight, the twin brother of the poor devil who didn't survive a joke appears.

But beyond these few similarities with older slasher films, this is a film that effortlessly will sink into oblivion. Anyhow, the lousy acting (inherent to this kind of films) and the not so original story-line are also present. What remains is a typical game of guessing who's the perpetrator, what's the motive and who'll eventually survive. And there's also someone whose profile complies with the characteristics of the perpetrator. Obviously that's a wrong assumption. How surprising! Indeed, a stack of known clichés. The only thing that remains is how the victims were killed. So, it isn't exactly breathtaking cinema. The only thing I've learned out of this movie, is that it isn't very smart to bully others.
