Kill Game (2017)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT

A graduating class decides to prank a classmate at the beach which ends up in tragedy. What really happened is covered up. Sometime later the classmates are starting to die one by one. Who knows what they did last summer and who is going to die next? As you can guess this has been done a few times before but what is a little different is a creepy Marilyn Monroe mask and personally catered deaths. The way you died reflected what you did.It wasn't gory but a couple of scenes had you cringing. The effects were pretty good but the cast however was awful. What was well done was you were always wondering who was under the mask. You think you knew who it was but then alas.I was amazed at how awful these kids were to everybody. You here all the cruel jokes they played on people as they try and figure out who it might be which makes you feel no remorse for them(You also wonder why they aren't dead already).A couple of cool scenes is all you get in this one. It just feels like a been there done that kind of film. Avoid this one or maybe just watch the last 6 minutes.

I really enjoyed this film. In the day and age where every horror film consists of found footage with untalented actors, this was a breath of fresh air. It had a great running suspense throughout the whole film, the cast was great, and the story reminded me of classics like Scream, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. It was a really taut film that paid homage to great slasher flicks of the past, while not being cheesy or campy in any way. I would definitely recommend this film to any fellow horror fans out there! You will not be disappointed! Finally, I think this film is topical as it deals with the subject of bullying. Once again, it does so in an intelligent manner not commonly found in most horror films.

This movie scared me more than I thought it would! It kept me on the edge....well paced, creepy and not sure at all what would show up in the next scene or pop around the corner! The story line is even more scary when you think about all the harm that is done in today's world as a result of bullying....this movie chills you to the bone because of that realization. I liked the gritty, realistic tone of the movie.....and that mask was pretty scary!!! What also made the movie interesting for me was that I did not recognize any actor, so I did not have any preconceived ideas about any of the actors. It allowed me to sort of sink in and lose myself.....as if I was watching a group of friends that had no idea the were being filmed in their group scenes.
