Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders

Look the convention is "off in as gory a manner as you wish stupid rich people" but any director that even hints at animal cruelty is not worth watching by anyone.

No long intro, this movie gets right into the gore and introduces the nasty people. So look in vain for a sympathetic character to identify with. And the real house, yep someone did some homework, was right in the middle of town, no boat or plane required. So a Halloween movie, perhaps, but nonetheless a good alternative to watching repeats on TV while broken bones heal, forced on you while waiting for the next installment of Loki.

Film Review: Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders streaming on Netflix

Synopsis: A father invites his estranged family for a birthday reunion at his remote remote mansion on an island . Things however take a sinister turn when family members are forced to play a deadly survival game where only one will make it out alive.

The makers have tried to borrow the plot from Knives Out & Saw but terribly fall short in executing it. It ends up as a chaotic, incompetent, ugly and trashy film !! A hotch-potch of sorts which will make u homicidal for sure . Trust me , not worth ur time !!

Going with 1/5 for this one !! Adios 🙂!!

The idea of the presented film is certainly interesting, but the director managed to blur the intriguing plot with absurdities and rather amateur directing. The longer I watched this work, the worse this theater of the absurd became: cheap and implausible explosions, stupid reactions of characters to death and situations when the hero with a crippled leg runs like a light-footed antelope through the mountains. Only certain parts of the body are burned in the oven, and the victim, according to some tricky scenario, remains able to move until suddenly it turns into ashes, as if it was baked on a spit. In my review, I must admit that I could not watch this work to the end. And if I see this director's name in the credits, I will try to avoid such films like fire.

This movie will be difficult to review without spoilers, but I'll try my best. So first off, this film is give or take. If you expect a brilliant drama/horror film with clever lines, tense scenes that make you root for characters and acting that blows you away... this isn't the film you're looking for. If you expect a cheesy, poorly acted film that's gruesome and gory, heavily inspired by the likes of Saw and Would You Rather, this film is exactly what you are looking for. Like I mentioned, the acting isn't good. One person literally walks off a severe injury. This film is quite gruesome, not as bad as a Saw sequel, but it has it's moments. Like I sort of mentioned, the bory horror here makes no sense, and people react alot less realistically to injuries as they should. The "traps" and the deaths mostly also don't make sense. The motives also don't seem to be there? It doesn't really make sense why most of the movie is happening. I can say that the movie is sort of entertaining, and the special effects are good. It also tries to be clever at times, but just ends up flopping on it's face and creating lines that make you roll your eyes. This film doesn't need to be clever, and it shouldn't have tried to be. Bit of a flop, but it was alright.

This movies biggest is puzzle is how they got Jon Voight to be in it. This movie has zero redeeming qualities, I'm not even sure what I just watched. Think of it as the saw meets knives out meets escape room but with none of the actual good bits. I should have known to steer clear when I saw that Jonathan Rhys Meyers was in it. If you do somehow decide that a couple of hours of your life are completely worthless and you would rather watch possibly one of the worst movies I have ever encountered than do literally anything else, then you have been warned, I gave you a heads up. This movie is just plain poor on every single level.
