Gatlopp (2022)
7/10
That's really specific

Warning: Spoilers
The film goes through some lengthy character introductions. We end up with four college friends getting together for Paul (Jim Mahoney) going through a heart breaking divorce to a very pretty girl (Shelley Hennig) who has fidelity issues. He is staying on a futon at his friend Cliff (Jon Bass). They are joined by Troy (Sarunas J. Jackson) a TV star who has fallen on hard times and Sam (Emmy Raver-Lampman) a successful producer. Cliff discovers a board game in his newly acquired and quite ugly credenza. We suspect the outcome is bad from the opening scene. After initially rejecting the game they decide to play and maybe read all the rules later.

The game starts out slow and then the questions on the cards seem to get specific. Eventually it turns into a supernatural" Truth or Consequences." The game must be finished by sunrise or else they are destined to play it for all eternity (I don't think it had that many cards).

The film was more comedy than horror. Friends must reveal their innermost secrets and feelings in order to press on.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
