I loved this one – it wasn’t super clever or terrifying, just a fun, spooky horror movie with an interesting concept. A group of college kids find a creepy looking board game in their basement – Uncanny Annie, and as they start playing realise they are trapped in the game, a violent, ghostly, all-knowing game, that forces you to win to stay alive. This is basically a horror version of Jumanji and it’s great. Felt almost like an adult Goosebumps/Are You Afraid of the Dark? style episode (both of which i LOVED as a kid). They build the creepiness well and add enough variety to each scene / character to keep it interesting. Bit predictable at points, but a nice easy watch that is perfect for Halloween season.

What starts off as an innocent board game amongst friends quickly turns into more when they realise they are stuck inside “Annie’s” world, a game with no way out unless you play by her rules. I really enjoyed this one as the creepy factor was high and the storyline was simple, straightforward but solid. Although a full length movie, it’s actually the opening episode of horror anthology show “Into The Dark” where once a month a different film was released based on a holiday that month – great series with some great movies in, this one included! Hope it comes back for a 3rd season. Would recommend this movie to get you into the Halloween spirit.
