Paintball Trailers

Eight strangers engaged in an intense game of experts-only paintball find their friendly game taking a terrifying turn when one member of the team begins playing by a different set of rules. It started as a remote raw battle of wits and wiles set against the backdrop of majestic wilderness. With each shot fired, the stakes grew higher. But something horrible has happened, and what was once a team sport has become a relentless struggle for individual survival. The danger growing by the minute, the combatants gradually come to realize that their greatest adversary may be the very game they set out to play.

If the incessant screaming (see - 'lead' female actress) doesn't get to you, the complete lack of decent storyline and awful acting certainly will. Your time is too precious to be wasted. Just, don't.

Director Daniel Benmayor's film Paintball is an exceptional motion picture experience of infinite power. The environment he creates is dark, forbidding, and utterly terrifying. The sense of helplessness the characters feel as they fight for their lives with worthless weapons from a game becomes our own in a very personal way as the tension builds. The impersonal, merciless threats that stalk these innocent players is overwhelming and the desperation we feel with them is nearly unendurable. The pace never slackens as they are pursued relentlessly in a nightmare scenario of complete surrealism. It is nothing less than brilliant film making and unlike anything else you are like to encounter on the screen. The shattering climax is heart rendering in its explosiveness and will leave you absolutely stunned and breathless.

This film was a lot like a game of paintball in the sense that I gained nothing from it.Was 90 minutes of torture porn loosely based around a fatal game of paintball. Unless my friends and I were being incredibly thick, (unlikely) the ending made little, if not any, sense. This film was so poor I felt compelled to make an IMDb account to slate it. If you have 90 minutes you wish to fill with poor acting, thermal cameras and general shouting from annoying characters I would highly recommend this film, if not I highly advise you stay away from this film. ****SPOILER ALERT***** The black guy doesn't die first.

As with 99.9% of movies and TV, the usual characters are white women, white males, a token black male(who usually dies first-and in the obligatory role of saving the white woman). Black women as usual are absent completely since they did not need the cookie-cutter prostitute, drug addict or asexual hard-nosed police chief or maid. The only twist was a slight one on the kill order. Of course, the bleach-blonde white woman(she actually did get dirt on her face and her hair was mussed, a huge difference from the norm) survived as they always do. The monster will bite the heads off every other person on the boat including the less attractive white females when he is really democratically aggressive, but when it comes to the light-haired white -skinned female, he will miss her by a mile or change his MO and allow her to escape. Besides falling down and tripping over air, screaming at anything and needing constant care and protection due to their fragility and delicate state, and the self-sacrifice of all males, the clothes come off. I was surprised more gratuitous nudity was not written into the script. A mere tank top was exposed, but perhaps because the blonde white heroine needed to demonstrate uncommon strength and ability to act on her own, the story deviated a tad from the stereotype and subliminal propaganda. the "acting" and tiresome special effects were as ridiculous as the strained plot. I was too lazy to get up and turn the channel and besides I was getting a kick from my daughter laughing at it from another room.
