Kill Game (2017)

This is a slasher who-dun-it. Jimmy (Nathan Ross Murphy) is the first to die. A small group of close friends attend his funeral, friends who all share a secret of a student who died from a prank. They soon realize that they too may become targets but they don't know who it targeting them as they have prank'd so many people, they have no idea who is getting revenge against them. To top it all off, the deceased had a twin brother who lived out of town and is now visiting attempting to discover what happened to his brother.The film was all over the place with killing and clues. The killer wore a mask, but no one alive knew that. When a mask is found, how was it associated with the killer? I liked the fact we had numerous suspects, but they should have developed the characters better.There is a scene where they close the trunk and we see an upside down Illinois license plate: A16 W732 which would read selm or 5ELM 9TV. I don't know if that was meant to be a clue, a message, or they just did it because they didn't have any way to pixilate it due to the budget. But the camera did land on it for a few seconds, I assume the director wanted us to see it. Your thoughts?Guide: F-bomb. Brief sex and nudity (Sari Sanchez)

A graduating class decides to prank a classmate at the beach which ends up in tragedy. What really happened is covered up. Sometime later the classmates are starting to die one by one. Who knows what they did last summer and who is going to die next? As you can guess this has been done a few times before but what is a little different is a creepy Marilyn Monroe mask and personally catered deaths. The way you died reflected what you did.It wasn't gory but a couple of scenes had you cringing. The effects were pretty good but the cast however was awful. What was well done was you were always wondering who was under the mask. You think you knew who it was but then alas.I was amazed at how awful these kids were to everybody. You here all the cruel jokes they played on people as they try and figure out who it might be which makes you feel no remorse for them(You also wonder why they aren't dead already).A couple of cool scenes is all you get in this one. It just feels like a been there done that kind of film. Avoid this one or maybe just watch the last 6 minutes.

I'm not sure why this is rated so low. The movie was pretty good. It's a solid slasher film. The acting was pretty good, and the screen play was well done. The unfolding of the plot was also done very well. There were some twists and turns that kept you off balance as to who the killer was. The gore was also pretty well done, not overly done with special effects. There are a few plot holes, but nothing serious. I liked the mask the killer uses, old lady killer kind of adds a creepy factor that some movies miss.All in all, good movie if you are a fan of slasher movies.

The reasons are: acting, for such a movie is better than one might expect. Tho it looks cheap the actors did their job as good as they could and they deserve a point for effort. Second the plot, tho used since the 90s, has an overall, almost decent execution, it can stand for a horror, especially if you're not into this type too much. The killings are rip offs and repetitive but you do get to see them, and not too many low budget horrors show you the actual death of a character. And lastly, the costume is interesting, got my attention and I did wanted to see it more often.Little else to say, it's a movie that has been made since I Know What You Did Last Summer, and it isn't the greatest copy cat out there, so no, I will not recommend it, but I have to say I've seen far worse. Did I enjoy it, had some fun, or managed to fill my 1.5 hour in a productive way? Don't think so.But if you just want to see a horror movie because you love this genre and have to see all you can see, this might even seem like a little flick compared to others.Cheers!
