    Poor ripoff from Squid Games

    Poor, very very poor. Unoriginal script which is a no frills bargain bucket ripoff from squid Games. The title Octo Games is enough to let you know its a wish I was tracing paper carbon copy which doesn't have anything unexpected. The movie has no concept and the acting suck big time.

    I'm honestly shocked to think this is supposed to be taken as a serious movie. At best it's a lower discount than something found for rental of 50p at the old blockbusters.

    I'm not surprised it's only available to watch on Amazon. Not even Netflix is touching this one. I only started to watch this as it was free with Amazon.

    S Games

    Not Squid games ... also not Sex games ... but Splatter games ... well sort of and no pun intended. Was Squid Games totally original? I assume they took notes from other movies and shows (see Battle Royal, different crowd/theme, but in the same vain) ... so I am not really beating this over the head (no pun intended once again) for that ... but I can't really tell anyone to watch this ... better wait for the second and third season of Squid Games ... which surely will be quality stuff.

    That all said, I do not blame the actors in this. They do try their best with what they are given (not much) ... you have to love the genre and not care for the downfalls and flaws of independent and low budget horror movies ... acting is decent at best .. sometimes subpar ... again it is about what they have to play with too. Game over ....

    Squid Games with a sprinkle of Funhouse

    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".

    Shameless low quality rip off of "Squid Games" has low, nay, nó production values.

    Avoid this at all cost, its gonna be 90 min you can't get back.

    Why is this so bad? Let us count the ways: It's un-original: a rip off of the excellent Korean series Squid Games, which dóés have normal to high production values. One can always do a re-make, but then it has to have something extra, which sets it apart. This ... has nót that.

    Because character development is always harder in a film than in a TV series, because there's less time in which to do so, it has to be done well. It is not.

    While there is nothing overtly wrong with the sets they still feel cheap.

    The villain, JayPox, with his bleached face and face tattoo had nothing likable whatsoever. Villains DO have to have something likable. This is a rookie mistake.

    An ensemble film with 11 main roles and they're all white, bar one? Please.

    The story line is very predictable, from the beginning it's clear who the last 2 contestants would be and who would win in the end. With real names like ''Ad Cock'' and ''Hard Sell", it was to be expected.

    The only good thing about this was that fairly unknown actors got a shot and hopefully, had a good time.

    1 oth 10.

    Dollar Store Squid Game

    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.
