Spin the Bottle

It's cheesy but it's enjoyable because it's not trying to be anything else. If you liked truth or dare you might like this one. It had some good scenes and scares but unfortunately did what most horror movies do and explained itself too much and was too long, it would have been more enjoyable if it was 30 minutes shorter because right now it's just long enough that you loose focus. However if you're new to horror and don't want something too scary this is good, good to have in the background while hanging out and talking about the movie, not too gory but still has some pretty spooky deaths, and feels classic. It feels very 2013 except for the 2024 slang phrases which I feel they managed to incorporate in a way that worked better than most movies that try that.

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!

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.

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.

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.
