Verdict on Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders
Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders is a mystery horror following a family coming together for a game. They must put their differences aside to solve a murder, only they find themselves being tormented by a killer.
This is a movie that feels like it wants to turn the new Knives Out formula into more of a twisted horror movie. It is effective with the twisted games it puts the characters through as it balances out a who done it formula. However, the twists along the way don’t feel as earnt as they look to be. Everything ends up feeling very forced and a calmer approach might have unlocked the truth in a better way.
