Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I find it really sad that this funny little horror movie has a current overall rating of 3.1/10 stars. Sure it's cheap, sure some scenes were added in for no apparent reason, sure the script is bad and the effects are garbage, but that's what I love about these old low-budget horror films! It's so funny, you can tell that the actors were obviously having a ton of fun making it and knew it was lame, and the effects were so bad but weren't without effort. Ever since the digital age, bad CGI and bad acting, annoying soundtrack and excessive nudity and swearing has ruined low-budget horror. The Game is a classic, far before those days. It doesn't use bad computer graphics for effects, the crew improvised with whatever was available and worked from there, and ended up creating a very entertaining horror movie. My sister and I watched it knowing it would be lame, but it's one of those "so bad it's good" movies, one you can laugh with and have fun with. There are scenes such as a woman with an incredibly fake southern accent saying lines like "You can't come in here! I'm nude!" in such a high pitched voice that it's difficult to even think about keeping a straight face. I rather liked the soundtrack and the acting wasn't as bad as I expected at all. Will The Game ever be as popular as Resident Evil or The Ring? Probably never, but if you're a fan of low-budget horror like I am you'll definitely want to see it. At least if you hate it you can make fun of it.

Warning Spoilers (this movie will spoil your evening!) The game is promising at the start, nice bell-girls to greet you and you look forward to seeing them naked but you never see them again! The guests are not initially told why they are there but appear to enjoy being groped by their hosts and you wait for the swingers party of a lifetime.But the hosts would rather play stupid pranks, drink cheap plonk and sing shantys than help themselves to some sweet action! They promise the guests a million dollars if they survive the game – if the character Shelley gave me a million I'd slip her 20 bucks and I'd say "get a haircut, you look like you've been sleeping a the tip".Porno acting without the porn.

I'm obsessed with bad movies. I've watched a lot of them. Some of them I enjoy, and some I don't. But the movies that I've seen by Bill Rebane are inevitably the ones that just make me mad. The reason is that pretty much every other film maker out there, when making a movie, tries to make some kind of sense, or at least be artistic. I don't get that sense with Bill Rebane movies. I get the sense that his movies are written and filmed completely at random with no thought for what an audience might think about it. It's really odd. So let me see if I can summarize the plot. We start out with a rhyming narration by Suck- tor Seuss, who explains to us that there are some millionaires who do random games. Then there's a completely pointless, bizarrely exploitative dance sequence. Then there's some talking and a spider shows up. We meet our annoying cast of characters and fail to care about them. There's a hunchback. Then a bunch of stuff happens. Throughout the rest of the film, things happen and it looks like people are dying. Some seem to die by human action, some by traps, and one by a weird monster. One turns out to be a cop and there's something about a madman. Then it turns out everyone's okay and some are working for the millionaire, including the pointless hunchback. Then they're not. And then the millionaires get betrayed and die. But then they don't. And even the omniscient narrator doesn't have a clue about what's going on. A bad sign for the audience. If that sounds confusing, the movie's worse. For one thing, that description doesn't have the actors the movie does. The Cold also suffers from a weird lack of knowledge about what it wants to be. It just comes off as a random sequence of scenes, most of which go nowhere. I don't know how to compare it to Bill Rebane's other films. All I know is that it's terrible.

This is one lowly film. It has no real plot. We never are made privy to motivations, other than wealth. The characters are some of the worst actors ever to be put on film. The threat seems to be supernatural, but then it's being controlled by these three older people. Why are they doing what they are doing; in order to strike fear into other members of the group? I don't know. There is some mist from a fog machine that rolls around in the halls and everyone seems to be scared of it. Does it do something? I don't know. There's some nudity for its own sake. I'm always surprised to see this in films this old. Things have actually settled down in this regard these days. Anyway, the people run around like chickens, ready for the ax. They have no plan; no resources; no nothing. There are about five silly climaxes in the film. Who are these people and "is" there a ghost or demon. What happened to the other people? I challenge anyone to tell me this with any confidence. What a mess.
