A killing spree ensues, though 'spree' makes it sounds a lot more fun than Game of Death ever really gets.

The film is sure to develop a cult following among viewers in the same general age range as its protagonists. But don't expect their parents to approve.

Game of Death is a fun concept for a horror film that leaves a lot to be desired.

Game of Death ... is essentially a repetitive, mindless bloodbath. The only heads that might explode for Game of Death are when viewers get bored or frustrated with this bottom-of-the-barrel horror flick.
