Fatal Games (1984)
5/10
OK for what it is...
9 September 2023
"Fatal Games" is an OK little slasher that feels more like a teen TV series with a lot of added nudity and some violence. It is far better than the usual offerings of the genre and does actually resemble a competently made movie. They even had the right ideas considering the approach to the killer and the way he is shown. It even manages to make you guess who is the kill up till the very end. Intro song is very cool! Sadly, a quality copy of the movie is very hard to come by so I had to watch a very low quality copy from Internet Archive which made the experience significantly less enjoyable. In the end, "Fatal Games" doesn't reach it's full potential and no matter how OK it is, it's not good and distinctive enough to be a fully interesting watch and by the end you will feel boredom kicking in, unless you are very new into horror movies, but let's face it, if you dug up a lesser known slasher movie from 1984., you probably aren't. 5.5/10 from me! Only for the veterans who can appreciate the effort and the potential. Everybody else can listen to the intro song and call it a day...
