Sportkill (2007)

Horror     Not Rated

Plot

Rachel's life will never be the same: after being abducted, and forced into the world of high stakes betting, Rachel must decide to play, or be played. Could you inflict pain on another in order to survive? From director Craig McMahon (Machined) comes a look into the gentlemen's club SportKill...

Acting

Most of the actors and actresses are pretty good, though there was very little realistic human reaction shown, with people just slightly cringing as things are shoved through there body.There is also one guy, who plays a fairly large supporting role, who is very bad, and kind of annoying (I'll let you figure out who i am speaking of)

Gore

Decapitation, spike through the leg, head bashings, legs sawed, and loss of fingers. Most violence in handled in a fairly realistic manner.

Sex/Nudity

None

Final Thoughts

There is one glaring weakness in this movie, and that is the fact that it does not tell a complete story. It jumps right into the "game" that is the central premise of the movie, giving no backstory at all aside from some very short flashback sequences later in the movie, and it ends very randomly and with no conclusion to the story. It just kind of seems like a bunch of random scenes put together. I did however enjoy many of the kill scenes, which where pretty well thought out, though there is one scene of "torture" involving a maze type thing that is treated as if its the worst thing that could be done to someone, but in actuality, its was quite lame. The movie has tons of room for improvement, but does have a good amount of positive attributes as well
