The Bunker Game

No pun intended - as in lurking around or whatever else you may read from it ... well maybe a bit intended ... or a lot. Like when you plan role playing games, but you know not everything will go according to plan. That all being said and while the actors really do do their best (is that grammatically correct?), the movie has quite a few flaws.

I am not even sure you have to like role playing games to be into this - but it does help for sure. You have to love movies to even consider watching this of course. Because this low budget effort is really only for certain people ... it looks good for sure, but that is to be expected from any movie that is being made, with technology having evolved. Costumes and sets are quite nice too though - especially for a low budget movie.

This is not really a film; it is more of a video game. Unfortunately, it is not even a good video game because NOBODY CARES about any of the characters in the film. They have no character development, so we don't care about them. If they die, they will get another life, because you get three lives in video game land. In real life you get one. And it is much better not to waste part of it on this exercise in tedious competition.. The actors in the film are cartoonish, as is the script. So maybe it would have been better to make this as a cartoon rather than such a lame attempt at a real film. Don't waste your money on this turkey.

I Realize this movie is only 95 minutes long but it seemed much much longer than that. The story seems so disjointed, and I really didn't get much time to care about any of the main characters. This setting for these LARPers is supposed to be haunted but the film isn't the least bit scary. The jump scares are lame, and my biggest problem is that these people are all willingly playing NAZI's in the LARP. I might not understand the whole LARPing community, but I know a bad movie when I see one.

A silly premise, melodramatic performances replete with badly faked accents, the least exciting sex scene I'd ever scene, pretenses to depth that wasn't there and I was out within 40-45 minutes.

Just watched The Bunker Game on Shudder. Best not to read the synopsis, as I expect many folks went in not knowing much. Almost anything I say will be a spoiler. Trailer sort of gives you a hint, but I liked the twist.

Only a few likable characters, with a creepy subplot that might really bother some folks. There is Nazi imagery, I can say that much. First ten minutes set things up then you begin to understand, as things go wrong. Slow burn with things growing weirder. Odd ending you can take a couple of ways.

I gave it three out of five 💀 on the app.
