Nothing was going to make this a worthwhile watch with such a stupid premise. Lost interest halfway through with the ridiculous storyline. The last few episodes of last season were so good, I held out hope for the 2nd, but a terrible start.
Weak movie. They crack on it being similar to Jumanji but that show was a billion times better. After the only character I liked died, I had a hard time finishing it. My biggest question is, what the hell was up with the 20-something playing a child? She was dreadful. You can't tell me there is a shortage of creepy kids out there.
I was impressed they actually talked about real, modern boardgames rather than the boring classics. It was even topical mentioning legacy games which is a very popular genre these days.
The story was fun and better than most, but still lacked... something. For Into the Dark standards, though, I enjoyed it.
Good but a wasted opportunity of going full High-stakes Jumanji. The secrets were never going to be any good but they could have done much better with the several ways of getting us there.
Pretty mediocre and full with clichés.
Also, no real roleplayer would stop a game to do something else.
I wish this episode was written by someone who actually plays games... it would be much more scary to play a game of life or death in an actual game since losing would be based on either your witt or your luck rather than these stupid reasons.

Uncanny Annie - :heart:x5
It's a B-Movie version of Jumanji - College Students play a scary board game on holloween in a house in the woods a long way from people and get sucked in to the game. Enough said. . .
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
