I found this a fairly decent movie. Granted the actresses did lack some kind of emotion and feeling, but giving them the benefit of the doubt, I think they made the movie work with the overall feel of it, and all actors have to start somewhere right?
The concept of the game itself is a really clever and original idea. I think if they had just a slightly higher budget it could have been depicted in a more graphic matter, considering the context of the game itself.
Definitely something that can be re-made into something that could rival Ouija if the budget is high enough. Id love to see a remake with few known faces to see how much of a good film it could actually be.

As a person who has seen a vast number of horror films in my time I can whole heartedly say this is the WORST movie my eyes have ever been forced to endure. I can forgive the low budget props and effects, however there is no excuse for rhe lifeless performances within this production. When a small child who is in it for less than 3 minutes at the end is the best actor in the movie that says it all. Then there is the script... wow what a tragedy that is. People have said the game concept is ok but it is never explained enough to sy such a thing.
My partner and I tried to find one good thing about this film... we are still thinking. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS MOVIE Life is too short! My partner has suggested watching it as it will make you realise how outstanding all other movies are... but I think paint drying would be more worth your time.

So first let me say that this movie is not as bad as some of the reviews I've read. It's not stellar by any means, but there are several comments on the acting. The acting is not at the professional level, but it's not what I'd consider bad. Nothing in the film looks 'cheap' to me either. It's well shot.
That being said, this one didn't score high marks with me on the story. I really liked the idea - they are going to play this game called Morbid which sounded like it might bring out monsters and demons and such, which of course it does, but what really got to me is that it then splits into 4 directions, one for each character. Again, that would be fine, but it still involved the same characters. So its sort of like the game sent in motion 4 alternate realities, so someone that's killed in one is still there in the others.

To get the blindingly obvious out of the way first: the acting is awful. It is so incredibly bad that I thought it was meant to be "tongue in cheek," but the longer the film wore on, the more it seemed that this wasn't the case. The "actors" all have the same bland, emotionless attitude, it is so bad I still can't entirely believe it wasn't intentional.
The bad effects, costume and props could be excused if this was either a parody film or a low budget horror where you can still tell an effort was made, but in this case the terrible acting and lazy ending just make the cheap props stand out even more - the whole thing seems careless and lacklustre.
The storyline itself is interesting, the overlapping experiences of the girls intertwining with one another is a nice concept that could have been explored further, but it's like the ending that should have tied it all together is just...absent. It just ends, leaving the whole thing as a poorly executed mess.
I stuck with it because I thought it must just be a really slow burn film with a payoff at the end, but no. Turns out it's just a waste of time. Do yourself a favour, watch something else. Time is irreplaceable, this film certainly is not.

Was this a film student's project? God, it is awful. The acting is absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic. See your friend get slaughtered? No reaction at all. The writing is some of the worst I have ever had to suffer through. The FX are amateurish: severed hand is OBVIOUSLY rubber. I mean, it is really, really bad. Do not waste your time.
