Spoiler Alert.. (kinda) Before I started my blog I had a rule when watching a movie. I would give the movie about half hour to prove itself, especially a horror movie with crappy production value, acting and story. But since doing my blog I finish every movie to the end.Damn, it was hard finishing this movie. Every fiber of my being yelled TURN IT OFF!The only half way compliment I can give this flick is a decent soundtrack.A group of friends drive to a remote cabin in the woods (of course) when they open up a game they find. Once they start playing, ghosts of witches from the 80′s start killing them.Don't waste your time!

Seven friends go out to cabin for a weekend of relaxing and find a game that should not be opened! While the horror aspects are alright, it is the humor that really made this bearable, particularly the hilarious "scary story" from Simon Brady, played by Erik Woods (an actor who may be known for a bit part on "Charmed").Most reviews trash this film, with one saying it looked like it was shot on an iPhone. While I will not say this is a great film ,and would not recommend it to pretty much anyone, it is not nearly as bad as you might suppose.

Ben Oren is a literary Genius when it comes to this movie. I am surprised he is not famous yet. and i am serious. though ghost games is not the scariest movie it is one of the smartest indie movies i have seen and has a smart sense of humor. Though many people may not get the movie i believe the plot is funny and there are so many key quotes from the movie that i share with my friends. all in all i would love to see a Ben Oren movie on the big screen. I believe that he will succeed and though many people did not love this movie on the budget it was made i think it is wonderful. I can not wait to see what else this up and coming writer has to offer. If huge studios are putting out movies like Grandma's Boy and She's the Man i believe this educated young writer will do big things.

I think if this movie had a bigger budget, it would have been really great. The concept is good, the acting and shooting is typical "B" rated movie, its better than most low budget movies, and would be an amazing blockbuster with the right people. Worth the rent, if you have one of those pay by the month things, instead of individual movie prices. FYI - My "8 of 10" is with the knowledge that it is a rating for a B movie. I think the good witch looks amazingly like Ali Larter, but I can't confirm that, and they take death in real stride. The acting was totally unrealistic. Its very Blair witch, and there is a time loop kind of thing happening. You wonder who "athena" is, and why she is important. It needed more story. It did not actually show any people really doing anything, which was very Alfred Hitchcockian of the director.
