Murder Bury Win

This movie is a very fun twist on the "whodunnit" murder mystery genre, with a large dose of comedy thrown in. As a board game geek, it really appealed to that side of me.

This is a hidden gem on Amazon. It's clearly a low budget film but it really should be a lot more well known. It was released in 2020 so I think maybe covid has us all preoccupied.

Everything about this movie worked for me.

And that surprised me.

I was constantly expecting this move to skew into failure territory and it never did.

They even managed to clinch the ending.

Watch it because it's original. It's fresh. It's not a reboot, a prequel, threequel, it's not anything except a cool premise that is relevant, realistic in a way, and just plain kooky enough to work.

So watch it. It's a way to spend your time and laugh.

Loved this and would recommend to my friends and family.

The film centers on three friends (read: geeks) who get the chance of a lifetime when they are sired away to the home of a secluded game developer. Hijinks ensue when the developer wants to produce/ own the trio's game board but also compromise its original integrity.

To avoid spoilers, I won't go any farther into the plot than that.

But overall this film is interesting because it covers a lot of the ins/outs of developing board games, which is something I never really thought about before. It also offers the best of the dark-comedy genre between the personality of the three characters and how the "murder" unfolds. Sometimes your greatest dream can be your worst nightmare.

Excellent cinematography, good acting, and I wish maybe that the film wasn't so confined to only three locations or so, but it's a small budget film (so that's OK). It's worth watching, loved the concept.

This film is about three friends who invent a murder themed board game and then after an accidental death, try and use the game to cover it up.

The film is really slow to get going and then doesn't seem to go anywhere. The film also doesn't seem to know if it wants to be funny, serious, gory or what.

I have up half way through and that was quite a challenge.
