(This review may contain spoilers).
This film is very much a slasher movie, though it differs to many of those types of movies in that it isn’t set in just one area.
Video games have become very much a part of our culture now. Therefore, a video game that kills people is particularly scary because of how many people play them.
When I first saw this film, I originally thought it was going to be animated. It was really interesting for the film to start off with a scene from the computer game. It did a really good job of setting the scene, in my opinion.
At first, the characters seemed to be somewhat stereotypical, but I felt they became more likable as the story went on. It was also good not to see so much swearing and gratuitous sex in this film.
I only recognised one of the actors, but I think that the actors in this were pretty good. The acting came across as real rather than particularly wooden.
The special effects were pretty cool, but I felt that a lot of things could have been explained that weren’t. There was also the obligatory ‘twist’ ending that nearly every horror film seems required to have.
This is a film you don’t have to think too hard about and that actually has likable characters. I would recommend this if you like horror films and particularly the slasher genre.
