If you like Billy Wilder but haven’t seen everything he’s done, this is the film for you, a sparkling but typically sharp-tongued comedy-drama set in the last place expected in 1948 — bombed-out Berlin, rumored to be awash in corruption. Jean Arthur is the Iowa congresswoman out to clean up the town, and Marlene Dietrich a war survivor with a highly suspect past. Underrated John Lund is the Romeo with Captain’s stripes, brushing up on his (click) umlaut. And Millard Mitchell, of all people, steals the movie. Great cabaret songs by Friedrich Hollander, and an A-class commentary by Joseph McBride.

One... two.... three... ready or not, here I come! In honor of the fifth anniversary of the hide and go seek driven slasher "The Murder Game" from director Robert Harari, the director himself is offering two lucky readers of Bdhr, a DVD copy of the film. The Murder Game follows a group of teenagers who invent a game in which one of them is secretly chosen to be a "killer," while the others remain innocent victims. Armed with prop weapons, the "killer" must eliminate the other players before being found out. To enhance their experience, the teens sneak into a large self-storage warehouse during its closed, late-night hours to hold their game. At first, it's better than ever. But, things take a horrific turn as one by one, the players begin dying...for real.

Robert Harari is the Maryland based horror director of the indie film The Murder Game which finds a group of teenagers playing a variation on hide and go seek in which the participants have to hide from the killer. However, someone has taken the game a bit too seriously and is now murdering off the other participants. Unfortunately, no one can escape since they are playing in an underground storage facility that is locked up until morning time. We had the chance to ask Robert a few questions. Here is what he had to say.

I'm a film/video producer from Baltimore, Maryland. Been doing this since graduating from Towson University here in Baltimore back in '99.
You've worked in many different functions in the horror genre. Which one proved to be the most taxing and which one did...
