Verdict on DarkGame
DarkGame is a horror thriller following a twisted killer who has been playing games with people’s lives. A determined detective is trying to prevent the bloodshed while dealing with his demons. It becomes a race against time as the killer maintains control of his audience.
This movie explores cybercrime as a killer plays a twisted game through the Dark Web. It dives into the police investigation into solving the crime spree and shows the glee the killer gets from people watching. This is relentless as we see how the games evolve into something far more disturbing. It has a feeling something bigger is connecting the pieces and we wait to see if he lands. However, some of the games don’t make as much sense and certain things only happen because something else has triggered, not pre-planned like it presents the Presenter.
