Come Play

Just know that this story is whack, the little boy Oliver is an annoying as hell autistic child, the mother and father are both dinwits and the movie was far from good. 2020 and these so call horror thrillers just constantly insult the viewing audience's intelligence. Only lying trolls are saying this film is good. Don't believe them, this film is ridiculously stupid.

Nothing to see here, folks. I had the privilege of seeing this movie alone in the theater with my friend and we had fun pointing out things during this tame movie. For example, in one scene the dad is working in his booth and there are pamphlets blowing everywhere. The perspective shows the dad in the front of the screen with the pages flying in the background. Suddenly, a collection of papers - *gasp!* - hit something, forming the shape of a man standing there. 1. This has been done before (see "The Conjuring"). 2. The monster in the movie looks nothing like a man... why did the collection of papers form that shape? Another scene, near the climax of the movie, the mom cries, "I wish you were normal!" to her son. But the monster is chasing them throughout their house and things are chaotic. The timing was awful there; shouldn't she have been more concerned about their safety? Also, the adults are quite ignorant. Can't they think of anything to do against this baddie than run or throw electronics out of the house? The dad tries to outsmart it by locking it in his booth, but... I mean, the monster just got in with all of the doors closed, you think that's going to stop it? It didn't even work, as the dad is attacked mere moments later. "Come Play" borrows things from more successful movies like Poltergeist and The Conjuring. It's nothing but lame jump scares that would seemingly only frighten newcomers to the horror genre. Gillian Jacobs, who I loved in Community, gives a good effort but the movie just stinks. It's also repetitive... get used to seeing the cover of the "novel" the monster appears in, and get used to the first few pages; they will be read often. Sadly, parts are also predictable. We see the kid using his dad's digital measuring tool, and sure enough, the monster, who is mostly invisible in the movie, is measured by him. The distance gets smaller and smaller... we all saw that coming. Mama asks her son to look her in the eye, which he doesn't do; he is autistic, and that's how it is. But of course, the boy eventually does. Lame movie, not worth your time.

I've seen better and worse, but for what it is, as a PG-13 horror movie, I think it does really well. It's short on scares, so don't go into this hoping to be scared out of your mind, but I think the emotional power that the message conveys is definitely worth a viewing. Definitely struck my heart strings by the ending. It's definitely derivative of several movies, but it's pretty good for sure.

Come Play tries to be something more substantial than just another cheap horror flick, and for that, I give it due credit. It's unfortunate, then, that it's often slow and boring. It's clear that it makes an effort at connecting on an emotional level, but again, it simply fails.

Over the symbology of this film, other than say that im overwhelmed by the sensation of true fear, like the ones i felt when i was a little boy afraid of the thing called''bolla'' here in norway, and the film is completely without blood and gore, thats almost unheard of today.so i would say a nightmatre on elm street without blood and gore factor could be a good comparishion( i hate to compare ,but larry told me to do it sooo...) so plain horror you get, almost nonstop seemingly never ending, and the production has a vast variety of sound and light effects, cgi of superior quality, and the children actors are like made out of a good mix of tom and sean and some forrest in the edges. and its a film that will scare the heck out of people that are convinced that that can track ghosts via the camera we all have in our digital gadgets, and will for sure loose their senses each time a light starts blinking. im ready to declare that this is the best of its kind made in this decennium, pure horror for all its worth, hypoanemic and hypointestinosic it is, and could even be used by the round table a saturday evening with the family, not familyfriendly but rather safe wihin the frames of common scares. its a must see film is the grumpy old mans message

I'm left pretty speechless. This movie was so bad, I don't even know where to begin. - there was nothing scary about it (a few typical monster scenes that we have all seen 100x's in any other horror movie);, and a few routine "jump-scares". Other than that, - nothing -- I fell asleep twice from boredom. - Believe me, I'm not being a jerk, just being honest with the hopes that I can save some of you some time (and possibly money if ur renting). The story was dumb, the acting was weak, and I'm just glad it's over. -

Yoh should defently watch this movie!!! Itssss soooo good!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!

The only reason why I say that is cause pg-13 movies have limitations that they have to follow and the options they have are pretty limited for a horror movie and also for this movie half of the cast is children.
