I don't believe in movie ghosts, the kind of evil spirits that can pop out of closets, shadows, TV's and such and this movie is no different. These movies don't scare me and most of the time the ridiculous amounts of gore and silly characters deter me from even watching.

I am a fan of videogames and videogame movies though. In this particular case the movie also happened to have a pretty stellar cast. I do enjoy the references to Elizabeth Bathory, a real-life serial-killer (one of the most well-known women serial-killers too) because at least people who didn't know might have learned some real history too.

Poorly written characters, bad dialogue and ridiculous situations in which normal people would never find themselves and always react as stupidly as possible are par for the course in horror movies, this one is no different. Fans of the genre already know this and don't care or else they wouldn't be fans of the genre, so in that respect the movie is perfectly fine.

It wins points for originality and the fact that it isn't a silly remake of an Asian horror film in a Hollywood climate of "if it worked once it'll work again" as well.

Horror fans should check it out, videogame fans should also check it out for all of the in-jokes and fandom allusions and if you liked any horror film featuring any of the silly plot-devices I mentioned previously then you may like this too.

The movie finale is half decent, and the death scenes (despite obviously being heavily cut at times) were fairly entertaining, but overall, this film's failings are clear to see thanks to poor direction, woefull acting, and a story that couldn't...

The movie finale is half decent, and the death scenes (despite obviously being heavily cut at times) were fairly entertaining, but overall, this film's failings are clear to see thanks to poor direction, woefull acting, and a story that couldn't be less original and more cliche ridden if it tried.

A bunch of people play a video game. When their chactrs die, they start dying also.

good game.....i mean movie
