The OctoGames

Poorly written. Badly acted. Cheaply made. Clearly made to cash in on the success of the Netflix show Squid Game.

Although, all the above being said, it is at least vaguely watchable. Granted, it isn't Lord of the Rings or Citizen Kane but they have at least had a stab at creating characters and have them react to each other.

So many bits of the film make no sense to me. Why the fox outfit? Why keep one living? Who was the guy at the end? Why would YouTubers and instagram addicts give up their phones so readily?

Clearly, I cannot recommend this movie. Go watch Squid Game, it was made by people with talent.

The acting is terrible & the plot is a complete rip off of Squid Games (in the same way Wish items are a rip off of the real thing), so you'd think this was a parody, right? So did I before I watched it. I would say Squid Games would clearly have a right to sue here but I doubt they would because, honestly, this just shows you how bad Squid Games COULD have been if the right people hadn't been working on it, so they're probably letting this film run because it is like the ugly friend - by comparison, it makes it look SO much better. Seriously, avoid this film & wasting time in your life that you'd never get back.

I honestly think this movie was a quick cash grab for the creators. "Let's make a movie that plagiarizes Squid Games and mix it with Funhouse sell it to Tubi because what other platform will buy it and make millions"....ahahahhahaha idc idc very smart. Anybody who can create and capitalize, no matter how, is good in my book.

I honestly don't know if this is supposed to be funny or not but I really don't care. I cracked up through this entire movie. It was freaking hilarious. While I appreciate the creation and capitalization, I give this a two for "unoriginality". At the end of the day, they got/getting paid so I don't think they really care what the score is. They laughed all the way to the bank..."shrugs".

The reviews on here imo are a bit harsh - but I am watching from Tubi so I didn't have high expectations lol, think lifetime movie quality production and acting meets "horror" and "gore." Yes, it's obviously a knockoff of squid games but I'm reviewing this, not SG. Personally, I enjoy a good-bad movie and I consider this to be exactly that. It's very easy to follow, the storyline is simple but fairly engaging, I didn't know how it was going to end - it was mostly unpredictable. It's a low budget film with mediocre acting, it's not an Oscar contender but does anyone realistically watch this trailer and think it's going to be horror/thriller movie gold? Be realistic! I don't regret spending time watching this, I did eat an edible prior though.

Just about everything older people have come to hate about the younger generation is here. The likes and the followers and the seriously uncaring nature of these narcissists who want to have the most likes and the most followers. You people are trash and now you have a movie about the trash that you are.

Facepalm... This is the generation you have become. This is the complete lack of culture you bring to the world.

The movie is fairly ordinary. It's watchable from a cringeworthy perspective. I guess the main chick was the most likeable character in it. A solid 2/10 as in just forget it and never watch it again. If you drink 10 cans of beer you might be able to just sit through this dreck.
