Death Game

About This Movie

Death Game is this eerie little gem from '77 that plays with the concept of domesticity turned sinister. You’ve got George Manning, a businessman whose birthday takes a dark turn after inviting in two seemingly innocent girls. The tension builds as they seduce him, but it quickly spirals into something much more disturbing. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing shifts from casual to frantic in an unsettling way. The practical effects are raw, adding to the unsettling realism of the violence. The performances, especially from Sondra Locke and Colleen Camp, are striking—there’s a twisted charm to their characters. It’s unsettling, engaging, and feels like a commentary on the fragility of safety in one’s own home.
