Watchable, but not overly outstanding...
I hadn't heard about the 2022 horror comedy "Gatlopp: Hell of a Game" prior to sitting down to watch it. So I wasn't sure what I was in for here. But I opted to give the movie a chance on the account of it being a horror comedy that I hadn't already seen.
Writer Jim Mahoney managed to churn out an adequate enough script and storyline for "Gatlopp: Hell of a Game", however, it just wasn't outstanding or all that innovative. Sure, the movie was suitable enough for a single viewing, but it just doesn't have the contents to support multiple viewings.
The storyline in "Gatlopp: Hell of a Game" was sort of reminiscent of the "Jumanji" movies in a way, though not as grand and spectacular, but also with a tad darker twist to it. I suppose that it why the movie found its way into the horror genre. It wasn't particularly scary though.
The acting performances in the movie were good. Keep in mind, though, that the movie is carried by a relatively small cast ensemble. They actually did fairly well enough, given the material they had to work with.
Sure, I will say that I was adequately entertained by "Gatlopp: Hell of a Game", though this is not a movie that I would be returning to a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend horror comedy fans to rush out to get to watch; it just simply wasn't all that spectacular.
My rating of director Alberto Belli's 2022 horror comedy "Gatlopp: Hell of a Game" lands on a five out of ten stars.
