Spin the Bottle

Then this movie would have been just another teen unfunny movie of underage drinking and making out and football tryouts and middle-aged fitness influencers attempting to play high school cheerleaders and Justin Long and Ali Larter and not F Murray Abraham as the only people you know.

But instead this haunted kissing game adds like an unnecessary seven hours to what would have been a 80 minute thing for you to drop your nieces off at the theater while you danced danced revolution over at Dave and Busters.

I think all that remains of the original premise to the adolescent romp is the soundtrack which is more apt for an American Pies reboot than for a horror movie this dull and overly long.

And who doesn't wear a black tie to a funeral!

Where do I even start? It's amazing to me that a movie with a listed budget of over $2M would be as hollow, lame and look as bad as this. There is no style, there is not even an attempt at atmosphere, it's not remotely scary and the script is lifeless and on the nose. Why use CGI so much in the movie? Open the furnace, CGI fire! CGI smoke! CGI blood! Who financed this movie? I don't think anyone involved has ever actually seen a horror film before. It was like a combination of trailers for Halloween episodes of Days of Our Lives. None of the characters act real, zero verisimilitude. A total dud. Overblown lighting that looks like a carnival haunted house. And it's over two hours long! We live in the age of Barbarian, Hereditary and other edgy, hard hitting horror movies that push the envelope and have well constructed stories along with well designed productions. This ain't that. Awful. Like watching a high school church production.

The acting was alright. That was about it.

A rip off of the Australian movie " Talk To Me" but full of stupidity. The writer and director are not explaining what they are thinking, to convert it to film for us to see.

Was a bit slow at the beginning then it was ok until the last 20 mins. Which is predictable.

Why would you steel the bottle?

Characters kept running out on their own. If you have been scared you don't run into the darkness on your own or do you?

At a huge party only a few play the game. What was everyone else doing?

It takes place in a small town but the there is a big school and so many kids at school.

If there has been a few murders in such a small town. You would skip hanging out.

It's only a movie and terrible at that.

I'd skip it but if your board give it ago.

Boring, meandering, and decidely un-scary. Basically a crummy teen football flick. With ghosts. Complete with a 300lb quarterback and a token black guy.

Yikes, this sucked. Someone needs to do a sit-down with Ali Larter and Justin Long and remind them they're still fringe A-listers and they are putting even that in peril by signing off on this piece of swill. Really, they're that hard up for cash? At least Bruce Willis could claim encroaching dementia for things like this. Don't see that working for Larter or Long.

There's also the 'horror actually needs to scare you or disturb you' thing ... but 90% of horror flicks miss the point on that.

This one actually surprised me. Went in with low expectations and still managed to be entertained.

Always love seeing some familiar faces when I got into a movie blind and this one did not let me down on that front. Heeelllloooo Justin!

It had plenty of the horror tropes to offer, but where it lost me often times was with the excessive dialogue and the somewhat simple and unsatisfying death scenes. I would have loved to see more especially when you have such a recognizable cast in your movie.

All in all I did have a good time with the movie, and would recommend to anyone who like a good game night that we all know too well.
