Come Play

Kind of a cringy concept and storyline, but honestly I wasn’t bored at all throughout this movie. The villain design and interactions were solid, and that ending hit me like a truck I can’t stop bawling.

Good

Kind of works better as a short film, but a good movie overall

man Larry's salad fingers cousin

Rated: 6.4/10

Scouring apps for hidden gems, this tech-demon flick caught my eye. I like this; it’s a creepy monster story taking “too much screen time” to a wild new level.

What Worked:
• Robertson is awesome carrying the weight of a non-verbal kid trying to survive.
• Larry’s design is super unsettling, especially seeing his silhouette through the tablet.
• Using electronics as portals for scares is a clever modern hook.

The Friction:
• The generic marriage drama honestly bogs down the pacing between scares.
• It gets repetitive relying on loud jump scares instead of building lingering dread.

The Verdict:
I like it. Watch for a fun creature feature. Skip if you hate tech-heavy scares.

8/10
