For the past few weeks, I have been waiting on this movie to
be returned at Family Video. Evidently, the powers that be decided to keep it
out of sight. Fortunately, when I went in last night it was sitting there on
the shelf waiting on me to pick it up. That movie (and my next review) is on
the 2013 independent flick, The Midnight Game.
Plot/ After playing a pagan ritual on a dare, a group of
high school students find themselves trapped in an endless cycle of their worst
fears.
When I sat down to watch this, I figured that there would be
some cliché moments considering that the premise involved a pagan ritual and
teenagers. Unfortunately, I was right. While this one does feature some solid
performances with a rather unknown cast, a decent storyline, and some
atmosphere, the ending definitely let this one down. In fact, it is the
disjointed, almost anti-climactic ending that dropped this flick a few notches
(as did the underdeveloped scripting). In the end, this was a somewhat
entertaining low budget indie flick that is much better than many entries in
this genre. With Halloween right around the corner, this one may provide some
late night entertainment. Give it a shot.
