Every Monday night, Aaron Tyler (Johnathon Schaech) and his friends get together for a friendly game of poker. They've had the same routine for years, and it's always been a low-key affair. But tonight's game of poker will be anything but routine, because after accidentally killing a burglar who was sneaking into Aaron's house, the boys attempt to cover up the crime by quietly disposing of the corpse. When the dirty deed is done, the friends take a pledge of silence, agreeing to take the secret to their graves. But someone else knows exactly what they've done, and as the murderous game of revenge gets underway, the friends realize that their horror has just begun. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...an admittedly slight yet consistently entertaining piece of work...

Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
based on a book, but I imagine that quite a bit got lost in translation from book to script to final film

Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central
If you're looking for a good time killer, look elsewhere. The Poker Club fails miserably at everything it attempts to do. Sigh.
