No pun intended - who is afraid of the ... well there was a "game" when I was younger. I am still not sure what it tried to tell us. If you were kind you would say it meant a man dressed in black clothing ... if not ... well let's not get into that. The movie uses this quite questionable game to create a bogeyman ... something that does not exist in real life obviously - but this is a movie so all bets are off? Well let's say ... no even though I think this is not really good I will not take that away from the movie.
This unfortunately is painfully made for TV and not in a sense that would help or elevate it and its status as a horror movie. Cliches - well we are used to them ... but this has not much going for it. It may have a bit of an original twist here and there ... but while the actors are quite decent, overall there are things this lacks ... like a better pacing, more and better shock effects ... and again did not age in a good way. Maybe was not really that good back then - but really feels out of touch in so many ways nowadays ... still if you like horror stuff and are curious about a different "bogeyman" ... well here you go.
