Game of Death (I) (2017)
6/10
It's varies wildly. But overall, it's fun.

It starts off with this very amateur feel. Especially in the lighting and camera movement. Though it has actual actors and a very interesting premise. And within a few minutes, it gets zany. There are kooky characters, clever murders, bizarre plot points. Oh, and manatees.

Oddly, the cinematography gets more professional in the middle and climax of the film. The story also gets a bit surreal as well. But it made for a nice "what would you do" under the conditions and circumstances of the game.

The ending is kinda that cliche of the evil must pass on. But of course it is in a station full of cops....with the means to carry on the game brutal. So I thought that was a pretty nifty take on a standard horror movie ending.

There is lots of blood and gore but in a comical way. And manatees, but in a terrifyingly docile way.
