This was supposed to be a scary film. I have seen more scary things in ‘The Tweenies’ and no I am not exaggerating.
As per usual it is based on a group of teenagers (yawn yawn) who get involved with a dodgy video game. This dodgy video game was based on the life of Elizabeth Bathory, the mad woman who bathed in the blood of virgins (apparently) to keep herself young. Elizabeth was bricked up in a tower to die after she was found out and she was not happy about it. Of course her last words were “I will return”. Yes dear, very original I’m sure. Anyway, as you play the video game and you mess up you are told ‘Game Over’. And guess what? The player ends up ‘Game Over’ in reality as well. Oh gosh I never saw that twist in the tale coming (not)! The deaths start to pile up before one of the brain cells of the oldest lad begins to function and he puts 2 and 2 together and makes 3. He and his trusty buddy and his girl then proceed to beat the game. Only the game gets fed up of this and ends up playing itself (more intelligent no doubt). Meanwhile our hapless idiots go and find Elizabeth’s grave which leads to a secret room which leads to other dark and dank secret rooms and also to Elizabeth who appears as a computerised type image. Elizabeth and her cronies get rid of one of our heroes and almost get rid of the girl but she unfortunately survives, as does our brain cell man. They defeat her and live happily every after. The game however takes on a life of its own and the last image you see is in a video game shop where ‘Fear Now’ is just starting to play on the screens. Inside that shop are a lot of teens. Teens with a passion for video games. It doesn’t take a genius to know what is likely to happen next. Zzzzzzzzz.
Score Board: 0/10 Total rubbish.
