Review:
This works on quite a few levels since it's innovative, gory and genuinely interesting. Here we have a group of students who have been randomly selected to play a game....a murder game! They are moved to a remote Island and forced to kill one another off until there is only one survivor. If not for the silly ending..s this would be a much greater film. Still it's one of the best and most well thought out concept movies, it's easy to follow and definitely easy to get in to. It really is sort of a disturbing glimpse at what the future could one day hold (in hell!!). Beware though because there is some animated series or movie rather with the same title which may be based on the movie, but are definitely not the actual movie.
