Beta Test (I) (2016)
2/10

I must agree with recent reviewers and say that Beta Test is an awful low-budget film. I was also deceived by the positive rating.

A gamer beta tests a new game. However, in reality he is controlling a real person and causing him to break into a real bank. It is an interesting premise, but the execution is a complete miss.

It is not even entertaining from a campy perspective. The dialogue tries hard to sound gamer-like, but it mostly just made me cringe. It seems like non-gamers were writing lines that they think gamers would say.

The people behind the film must have implanted a chip into some people and controlled them to give their film a high rating.

If you are interested in seeing some similar, I recommend checking out the cult-classic film ExistenZ instead.
