![]() In Open Graves The game works as follows: players move down the board until they draw a "death card," which spells out their fate in an enigmatic riddle. The last player remaining then has to solve one final riddle: guess wrong and die; guess right, and a wish is granted. If this sounds like a bad late-night movie played on the SyFy channel, well, it is (it premiered there). It has many of the ingredients of one of their typical offerings: a generous helping of the Final Destination Elisha is the only familiar face in the movie and, as might be expected, gives the best performance. She and the male lead, Mike Vogel, are also the only Americans in the cast. The foreign actors are not terrible, but it seems clear that English is their second language, which hampers their performances (the main cop in the movie in particular seems to struggle with his English). The movie is not scary at all but should get some credit for a few rather creepy scenes, most notably a character who dies from rapid aging (a la David Bowie in The Hunger Last but not least, the ending is painfully obvious. I won't give it away, but its overall effectiveness is ruined because it is all brought about by one character's stupid decision. Open Graves |
