MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Mathis_Vogel A young teacher tries to find out something about "the Game" that her pupils play in an abandoned wing of the school building after classes. The cliché-ridden script was co-written by overly prolific Dardano Saccetti('Demons', 'Zombi 2' and half a billion other Italian horror films) so do expect plot situations and twists lifted right out of 'The Beyond', 'The Ogre', and other films he scripted. It's a TV movie, so there's no gore in it, as in Bava's similar gore-free pseudo-horror shlock 'Graveyard Disturbance'. On a positive side, I'd point out the atmospheric opening sequence and nice music by the always reliable Simon Boswell(Stagefright).
