5.8/10. Watchable but not recommended
It has nothing to do with horror. This is a comedy/fantasy movie. Funny, naive and sweet. 4 friends are playing this magical and dangerous game, and due to their fight for survival, secrets are being revealed. Imagine THE BIG CHILL (1983) and movies like this, in a comedy-fantasy version.
It's watchable and enjoyable and i wish more movies like this to be produced. Nowadays, many movies make you want to take anti-depressants (sort of speak), they are cynical, violent, dark and unpleasant. This one is lighthearted.
It's flawed, though. In order for the actors to convince the audience about how strong their friendship is, the viewer watches some (a bit) cringey and awkward scenes. Actors didn't fully convince me about their friendship, they try to look like there is a bond between them, but the chemistry was not entirely there. Maybe it was the writers fault, not theirs. There were some great acting moments though, mostly by Jim Mahoney and Emmy Raver-Lampman.
There is a strong possibility you will like it, if you are in the mood for something like that. I didn't regret watching this, i kinda enjoy it, but it's not good enough for recommendation.
