The Murder Game (2006) Reviews

  • This is horror? This is horrible.

    yougogirl002007-09-07

    Don't know how these good reviews came about. Must have been related to the actors. This is beyond atrocious. Let me count the ways: 1. cringingly over-acted by supposed 'high school' students who look about twenty-five years old. They even ride a little yellow bus to school. Totally absurd. My 5 year old niece has performed "I'm a Little Teapot" with more skill. Hell, she's like Brando next to these people. 2. the killer, once revealed, chases the unsuspected 'teens' through a warehouse whilst slowly meandering around taking her old sweet time to do her 'deeds'. Of course the 'teens' can't get away from her despite her slow knife-wielding saunter through the hallways-- she's like Michael Myers with a D cup. (Although that is an insult to Michael Myers.) 3. the 'teens', whilst running from this hideous frightening killer (who wears a snarl like she's posing for her 'high school' picture on a bad hair day), look like they studied acting with cartoon characters right down to the double takes, the "I want to get away, someones chasing me, but I think I'll stand here and wait for her to come down the hall", and rounding the corners as if wearing clown shoes. I could go on, but suffice it to say, in a few final words: avoid like the plague. Although even the plague would be preferable.

  • Solid, entertaining, indie horror

    traderjo2007-09-12

    I first found out about "the Murder Game" at the 2006 Terror Film Festival. I heard some pretty good things about and decided to check it out from Netflix. Truth be told, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Lower budget Friday the 13th ripoffs predominate the market so I expected more of the same. It's not. It's actually a pretty clever movie. In general I'll give anything a shot. I like "A" movies, I like "B" movies. This plays off like a really good B movie. The script is pretty well thought out, the characters are simple but effective, there's a couple of nice twists, and most importantly, it's entertaining. I was also impressed with pacing of the film. Unlike most indies, it moves at just the right speed rather than dwelling on prolonged long shots that offer nothing to advance the story. There were some good comical flourishes, and the ending turned out to be more logical than I anticipated. In addition, the musical score is quite good, and the action scenes work. Truth be told, I found it to be a better film than some of the horrors big studios are releasing, ala Dead Silence. It's certainly better than the Friday the 13th movies that were thrown at us. And at a fraction of the budget to boot. On the downside, some of the acting doesn't ring true, there's a handful of cheesy lines that make you eyes roll, and the budget does show occasionally. But in general, it's an entertaining horror. Worth watching. As a regular movie, I'd rate it a 6/10. As an indie film, I rate it a 9/10. Final assessment: 7/10

  • What a ripoff!

    kryo19772007-09-16

    This plot seems to be exactly like the one in the danish movie "Mørkeleg" from 1996. The plot in that one: "Four high school friends meet up in an abandoned house to play 'Backstabbed', a game of murder with headphones and plastic weapons. Meanwhile, a serial killer is leaving a trail of blood on his way to the house, and soon the game of murder becomes much more than make-believe" And that also sucked! How about the writers making their own movie, or at least label it with a "re-make" sticker! In my opinion, the movie gets even worse when you figure out that you have seen it all before. And what the hell is up with you guys and the "hot chicks" A movie has never been better because of "hot chicks" Rent a porno flick, at least they have better plots!

  • Oh, come on...

    Blaahval2007-09-14

    I seriously cannot think of why anyone would give this movie a 10/10. Sure we all have different taste in films, but to call this movie perfect is absurd in my opinion. I have nothing against the fact, that this indeed is a low-budget movie. I like plenty of low-budget movie. Its not the budget that makes the movie good, its the acting and the plot, but sadly this movie lacks in both areas. Okay, the acting wasn't completely bad - actually it was pretty average and what you would expect from a movie of this sort. This movie could however use an actor who really took the movie to that next level, but I'm sorry to say that no one even came close. The actors seemed to lack of strong reactions which I think the movie could use. Come on, your friends are dead and you are trapped in a storage facility - wouldn't you go nuts? I'm not saying they all should act like lunatics, but they could at least show some emotions. The story - well. I guess its okay. A bunch of friends playing a killing game and someone starts dying for real. Its acceptable for this kind of movie. Its not trying to win Oscars, its trying to entertain - and scare the crap out of people. The thing is, in this case they just didn't put in enough effort to make it work. And these twists people talk about - did we see the same movie? This was pretty much straight-forward. Just because you don't figure out the killer, doesn't make it a plot-twist when you find out who it is. If there even was a plot-twist it must have been a pretty dull one, because I missed it completely. But hey, it wasn't all bad. I did finish it, didn't I? No seriously, its passable. I don't regret spending around 80 minutes seeing it and I've seen worse movies - thats for sure. Having said that, its not a movie I'd catch again or buy on DVD. For the average movie fan I would not recommend this movie. Devoted fans of the teenage-horror film genre may like it however, I wouldn't know.

  • 4.5 out of 5 star rating from Horror-Web

    moviechic_Carrie2007-04-01

    I've been waiting awhile and looking forward to what director Robert Harari had in store for us with this movie. Having seen previous films he had worked on one way or the other, I knew he was a true fan of the genre and wouldn't let us down, and I was right! The Murder Game gives horror fans what they need; a mystery to solve and plenty of gore! Any film that makes me yell "rock on" after a death scene scores double points in my book! The story was straightforward, the acting, while every so often slightly cheesy, didn't have me running away from the screen pulling out my hair. Extra kudos to the F/X department for some amazing effects and the use of plenty of blood. And the ending, my kind of ending indeed (I won't say anymore on that topic) Jekyll gives this one a 4.5 star rating. Check it out when it finds it's release date
