This movie had been on my "to watch" list for a while so finally did it yesterday. Had a few beer and was in the mood for simple entertainement. Yet despite being in this mood i kinda felt the movie was missing something.
We get introduced in a very brief scene to the main character. This last a couple minutes but thats about it, we don't get much background/backstory on her, and don't expect any on the other characters.
We get absolutely no infos on anything, the movie just present us the "game", set some basic rules and after that its pretty much enjoy the kills and gore and have fun. That part i feel is indeed a succes as some of the kills are very violent and altough not overly creatives, they do are brutal and well done to a point they work great for the movie. But i dunno if its for us to be able to "admire" the killer's mask and custome cloathings, wich are well done for sure, or a budget thing but everything happen in daylight, and i kinda felt no tension despite the very horrifying nature of the movie. The fact that the characters are not developed at all, with no backstory, didn't really made me care for them.
I watched a movie with a similar style call The Hunt lately, wich i felt was absurde but fun entertainement a bit like Cabin in the Woods. This one follow a similar concept but instead of action/survival it goes into horror, but slasher style horror, and not tension horror.
Overall its not a bad movie, had some fun with it, i just wish we would had been presented more, like more backstory to at least make me care a bit about these peoples, and something on the game, the organizers, the reasons...
I think its worth a watch if you enjoy horror movies, its definately better than a lot of low budget horror flicks i have watched, but this won't become a cult classic for me.
