Stupid Games

Very mediocre horror film with bad acting. I couldn't even get through a third of the film. I was really dissappointed as I am a big horror film fan. The game prop was cool in the film but the writing and acting were lacking. The movie drags on and can be slow at times, and it very hard to get through. I didn't have high expectations for a budget film but this one is unwatchable.

The board game concept reminded me a lot off ouija boards. The characters in the film play a boardgame at a dinner party and it summons a evil force. And the evil entity forces the characters to play the board game for their survival. The vibe of the film reminded me a bit of 90s horror films.

I bet tbe farm that any rating over 2 is by friends and family of people involved.

If there was a director they gave free reign to the worst wannabe actors on the planet.

Nobody behaves like these people. The women acted like insipid trollops. Bad overacting. They did their impression of brainless groupies.

The men were all dumb geeks. Every character was a cartoon of actual human beings.

I was ready to turn it off after 15 minutes. The dialog was unbearably stupid.

I'm not sure what the storyline was because none of this dumpster fire made any sense.

Zero suspense, zero character buildup, empty, shallow people being ridiculous.

Enjoy.

Tubi will never cease to surprise me with the vast array of movies they have to offer. This indie horror peaked my curiosity upon seeing the poster...The pacing felt a bit too stretched out, leaving you itching for something more exciting to happen after the lengthy build-up, but once the game made its long awaited appearance things got more interesting. Also WHO has that many candles in a single apartment? WOW.

Unlike your typical horror flicks that start off with a bang, this one takes its time to ease you in, leaving you bouncing in your seat, thinking, "Come on, something spooky has to happen soon." and then it sorta does, and while the scares are scarce, the horror atmosphere is top notch!

By the end of "Stupid Games" redeems itself and it's definitely a fun watch-if you've got the patience of a saint and the thirst for horror, that is.

I know I know my rating is what it is, but somehow this movie really hit all the right notes for me. Something about the low budget, our your heart our into this passion project film really struck a chord with me. I read up a lot about it after seeing it on Mometu for the first time when it was released and I ran to letterboxd to give it some love and now here I am giving it some love here too. Is it perfect, no, does it still deserve 10 yessss! This little indie B horror movie is so fun and creepy and the atmosphere is TOP NOTCH! The characters are so fun and have their own quirks, and that 90s nostalgia hits hard! I really enjoyed Stupid Games! Let's win some stupid prizes!

"Stupid Games" is the kind of horror film that doesn't quite live up to its promise, but still manages to entertain in an oddly guilty-pleasure kind of way. Directed by Nicolas Wendl and Dani Abraham, this 2024 release aims to blend psychological horror with 90s supernatural boardgame horror.

There are some genuinely clever moments where the tension builds, and you feel that sense of dread that any good horror film should evoke. The atmosphere is well-crafted, with a great soundtrack and some striking visuals that do a lot to set the mood.

While the film doesn't reinvent the wheel by any means, Stupid Games still offers enough thrills and even laughs to keep viewers entertained, especially if they're fans of indie horror films where you can feel the filmmakers heartbeat in it.
