Mo lun: Chinese SAW?
The Precipice Game falls under a horror sub-genre that I like, namely people being thrown into a dangerous situation such as a game. Other movies that tick this box would be the likes of SAW (2004), Circle (2015) and The Human Race (2013).It’s not that simple however here and this Chinese made horror is not what it first appears to be. I do however mean that in a good way, mostly.
It tells the story of 6 people who get onto a cruise liner to participate in a treasure hunt with a million prize! The whole thing turns sour though after they witness and death and find themselves fighting for their lives.
If you can get past the awful dub the Precipice Game is actually watchable stuff. Sure it takes some influence from other films (Okay a LOT of influence) but it has it’s own identity.
When the ending is delivered however I can imagine viewers being very split on whether it makes or breaks the film. For me I liked it, but it couldn’t make up for the movies flaws.
In places it looks very cheap, the handling of the concept could have been better and the cast? I’m not convinced. However my head is still spinning regarding their ages, the main ones all look in their early 20’s but are in fact 40+. Whatever they’re putting in the water in China these days, I want some.
Watchable stuff but few surprises.
The Good:
Interesting concept
Great setting
The Bad:
Concept isn’t utilized very well
Awful dub
Waterlogged
It seems that the Chinese filmmakers behind this movie were greatly influenced by the Hollywood “Saw” film series, and the Michael Douglas movie “The Game”. Kind of a strange combination, but I guess it could have worked under more capable hands. With that statement, you’ve probably guessed that this movie doesn’t work very well, and you would be right. For starters, it’s painfully clear that the filmmakers didn’t exactly have a lavish budget. Every production value, from the cheap cinematography to the flimsy sets, makes the movie look and feel real tacky. It also probably explains why the camera is constantly jammed in close to the actors, giving the movie a real claustrophobic feeling. And that’s about the only feeling the direction manages to generate, because there is no feeling of horror, tension or mystery at all. Most of the movie is really boring, except maybe for the so-called twist at the end, which is even sillier and less believable than the twist in “The Game”. There are a lot better thrillers – Chinese or not- out there, so there’s no reason why you should waste your time with this one.
