Fun : 3 skulls
Pretty disappointing - good premise but is thoroughly let down by unlikeable characters, dumb decisions, no world building, lack lustre setting, and boring bloated script. Wanted to be like 2015's 'The Invitation' or 'Ready or Not' so badly but fell short of even being a semi-decent satire. Could've worked better as a short film. It's worth a watch if you've got time to kill and want to see how the nepo babies of the world are makin movies lel
Very intense film! I enjoyed the overarching concept quite a bit, though I feel like I've seen quite a bit of this story-type of "rich family killing each other" film before (Knives Out and Ready or Not, for example). Even so, it was a lot of fun, and the acting was very good, with special props given to Enrico Colantoni. He was fantastic. Overall, solid 4 skulls.
not that good
interesting premise but meh execution. i felt like the it lost steam by the end of the movie
