OOK so I am going to say as a gamer I thought this movie was great there were some parts that could have been better but overall I think it was great

This movie came out during a time when gaming was just about to blow up, but it was still pretty niche. I remember being super excited when I saw the commercial on TV. I thought "wow they made a horror movie about a haunted video game"! When this movie hit theaters I was about to turn 20. I remember enjoying it so much that I went back a second time to see it, & took some friends along. As a gamer it was a very special thing to experience...at the time. However no this movie is not great. It is completely full of plot holes & things that don't make sense from beginning to end.

As a gamer it was something that was easy to get into at the time because like I said gaming was still niche so this movie felt very special, but the reality is that its absolutely terrible. Its a guilty pleasure.

I enjoyed it no way a perfect movie but it was good for what it was .

I feel the plot is just a tad bit over the top. They probably should have made it similar to Scream without the supernatural elements. There were lots of Video Game controversies at the time,Jack Thompson was gunning for everybody in the industry.

It should be over the top it is a movie and it was entertaining for what it was

I feel like we could have got something better than entertaining for what it was.

This movie fits in with the blumhouse movies ridiculous too much so to work well
