Kill Game (2018)

Kill Game: Directed by Robert Mearns. With Joe Adler, Laura Ashley Samuels, Pierson Fode, Mouzam Makkar. Five years after a high school prank gone horribly wrong, a group of good looking, shallow, and at times cruel pranksters find themselves on the wrong end of the joke.

“You know the saying u0026quot;What goes around, comes aroundu0026quot; ? 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, youu0026#39;re inclined to think they had it coming. Because the tricks they played upon their fellow students (and even teachers), wasnu0026#39;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 theyu0026#39;ve pulled.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Kill Gameu0026quot; isnu0026#39;t an unbelievable good horror. But it tries to honour the traditions of the better hacker / slasher films from the 70s (for instance u0026quot;Halloweenu0026quot; and u0026quot;Friday the 13thu0026quot;). 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, itu0026#39;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, youu0026#39;ll get a significant number of candidates. And as a highlight, the twin brother of the poor devil who didnu0026#39;t survive a joke appears.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut 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 whou0026#39;s the perpetrator, whatu0026#39;s the motive and whou0026#39;ll eventually survive. And thereu0026#39;s also someone whose profile complies with the characteristics of the perpetrator. Obviously thatu0026#39;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 isnu0026#39;t exactly breathtaking cinema. The only thing Iu0026#39;ve learned out of this movie, is that it isnu0026#39;t very smart to bully others.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMore reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT”
