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.

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.

Best friends, Chris, Adam, and Barrett, have created their board game Murder Bury Win. Their crowdfunding is going nowhere. Prolific game designer Victor Von Stubbs invites them to an isolated cabin. He offers to buy the game off their hands but they can't acknowledge creating it.

They need to bump up the money. $3k is not big enough as a cinematic lure. It needs to be a deal with the devil. Adam needs to be a wild crazy punk instead of a white preppy guy. I do like the descend into chaos but it needs a little more setup. If Victor's death is more messy, it would explain the need for a cover up. I love this idea but it needs to be developed more carefully.

Great FUN ..., great Acting!!!! This movie is going far. I look forward to more from the writer/director and the cast.

Loved this and would recommend to my friends and family.
