What begins as a dream, turns quickly into a nightmare. Death Game is your typical hard to find B-Movie from the 70's that has more title changes and versions that a modern day motel bible. Every country where it was released, retitled and re-edited this movie to the point where none of them are perfect. In fact, Death Game is an example of a great concept made into a bad movie. Even though there is nothing wrong with a 21 year-old Colleen Camp, the movie falls short so many times. Several scenes abruptly end and begin with no steady flow. Seymour Cassel is said to have disagreed with the movie's direction and had walked off the set. This reason alone would explain for the holes in the story. The final product looks like they had to cut multiple scenes in order to make sense of losing their main Actor. Then again, a 21 year-old Colleen Camp explains why Seymour Cassel signed onto this film in the first place. Whether or not he got paid to make this movie will always be a mystery. The thought of getting to do a nude hot tub scene with a 2 blonde bombshells is payment enough. Especially if one of them is a 21 year old Coleen Camp. Half way through the movie we are witness to a Heinz commercial where we have to endure 40 seconds of ketchup leaving its bottle. Its moments like this that make you realize you are watching a bad movie. Although it has its moments, the movie lacks motivation and expects in audience to accept the randomness that occurs to explain an overall bad plot with lack of moral, message and even meaning. Don't search too hard for a storyline outside of getting to witness a 21 year-old Colleen Camp.
