Trailer Plays the ‘Game of Death’ and Ends Up Soaked in Blood [Video]
While we’ve already shared a blood-soaked trailer for Game of Death ahead of its World Premiere at the 2017 SXSW Film Festival (read our review), we now have an official look at the film that resembles a horror-fueled Jumanji only covered in red.
Described as “a schlocky gore-horror comedy plump with exploding heads, torrents of blood and torn apart torsos,” Sebastien Landry and Laurence “Baz” Morais‘ Game of Death follows a group of millennials who find themselves playing a board game where they have to kill (or be killed) to survive.
“Kill or be killed is the golden rule of the Game of Death. Sucks for seven millennials who ignored that rule. Now each one’s head will explode unless they kill someone. Will they turn on each other to survive, or will this sunny day be the last for the innocent people of their middle-of-nowhere town?”
We now have an official poster and trailer nearly three years after Game of Death played SXSW. Unfortunately, there’s still no release date.
