Director Daniel Benmayor's film Paintball is an exceptional motion picture experience of infinite power. The environment he creates is dark, forbidding, and utterly terrifying. The sense of helplessness the characters feel as they fight for their lives with worthless weapons from a game becomes our own in a very personal way as the tension builds. The impersonal, merciless threats that stalk these innocent players is overwhelming and the desperation we feel with them is nearly unendurable. The pace never slackens as they are pursued relentlessly in a nightmare scenario of complete surrealism. It is nothing less than brilliant film making and unlike anything else you are like to encounter on the screen. The shattering climax is heart rendering in its explosiveness and will leave you absolutely stunned and breathless.
