A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Midnight Game" (R - 2013 - US)Sub-Genre: Paranormal/DemonMy Score: 5.1Cast=4 Acting=6 Plot=7 Ending=7 Story=3 Scare=3 Jump=5 F/X=5 Creep=6 Demon=5After playing a pagan ritual on a dare, a group of high school students find themselves trapped in an endless cycle of their worst fears.Full or foreshadowing, this movie was so predictable that it made me laugh. It was very cliché, but still a fun little movie with a couple of jumps and creeps to raise the heart rate a bit. I liked how the movie ended, although very predictable. Is it worth watching...sure I guess for the paranormal fan. Otherwise, you're not missing anything if you don't. Personally, I want to play the game for real and see what happens...who's with me?

It's been a long time since I haven't seen a scaring movie like this one. It was made the way any real good horror movie should be; by isolating people, then by building up slowly an atmosphere of horror around them, incorporating a lot of unexpected twist, all this by using logic and continuity. The protagonist in the movie begin like every normal people would be by trying to play a satanic game; by distrust and low expectations. They never made any illogical move or irrational action, they just simply act like normally scared people would act in their place, which made it easy to root for them. For a movie build the same way as The Shining, I give the same mark as The Shining, a 10.

Not even watching this on a fun Halloween night with your friends can save this film. With a half-decent premise and a only a couple good jump scares, this movie is laughable. Anywhere from the terrible acting to the failed scare tactics to, in my opinion, the dumbest decisions ever made by characters in any horror film I've ever seen, this movie fails on every level. But like I said, it's pretty funny. The runtime is 70 minutes, so it never feels drawn-out and knows exactly where to end. And for the record, the film's conclusion is so confusing and jarring that it takes a rocket scientist to make sense of it, if it makes sense at all. The film left me disappointed, cheated, and even a little angry. However, you might have a few fun conversations about the film with your friends the next day, trying to make sense of an insensible, dumb horror movie.

I watched this film with my friend after doing some research on the pagan ritual. We both found it interesting and gripping to begin with but after the first 30 or so minutes it became extremely confusing.Normally I wouldn't watch a film if it didn't contain some kind of familiar star so this was a first for me.I honestly believe that the ending should have been more clear and less murky. Other than that the film wasn't as bad as it could have been. The acting wasn't the best and could have been more convincing. Some of the scenes when the girl who was going insane weren't as good as they could have been and for me the best parts of the film were the scenes when the jock walked around finding all of his friends dead. My main question though is was it a dream or was it real because I am so confused and conflicted.
