Imagine if “Jumanji” made you kill people. That’s the impetus behind Game of Death as a group of millennials find themselves playing a board game where they have to kill (or be killed) to survive. Directors Laurence “Baz” Moraid and Sébastien Landry combine their backgrounds in film, video, art direction, and game design to create a wild, highly stylized cinematic ride that’s one part black comedy, one part teen drama, and one part bloody horror flick. Kill or be killed is the golden rule of the Game of Death. Unfortunately, a group of seven millennials ignored that rule. Now, each one’s head will explode unless they kill someone. Will they turn on each other to survive, or will this sunny day be the last for the innocent people of their middle-of-nowhere town?

‘Do Not Reply’ Trailer Urges You To Delete Your Profile

The psychological social horror Do Not Reply is set to premiere at the New York City Horror Film Festival on December 6th followed by its screening at Another Hole in the Head Film Festival on December 14th.
