Viewing Notes

Didn’t consider “tech horror” for a sub category for 31 Days of Horror but here we are. Guess you could pair this movie with that Hellraiser sequel that also is about a video game.

The teens are playing a video game where what they encounter in the game happens IRL… so they die in the game, they die in real life. Cornball as hell and another frozen in amber flick with all the different brands and whatnot (guy has a wall-sized Steamboy poster on his wall!!). Neat to see Jimmi Simpson here.
