Ghost Game (2004)

A group of college students rent a cabin which turns out to be on an island where thirty years earlier some witches died in an occult ritual. After arriving on the island, the group decides to play a game that has a huge note in it which literally says, "do not play this game." Of course they do not heed the warning and bring forth the evil on the island and the killings commence.

In the opening scene, the witches paddle a canoe. Then it cuts to shot that says "30 years later". Huh? Nothing happened!

As the present day story progresses, the story of the witches is told via flashbacks that are intermittently inserted into the film. My guess is that the flashbacks are supposed to look like old film as it's off color and of questionable quality, but it just ends up looking bad.

As for the game, how do they even know the box has a game in it? It is an unmarked metal box that looks like it might be a tool box or a box you'd use to store letters or keepsakes. Yet as soon as they see it, they cry out, "let's play this game!" It just doesn't make any sense. If I saw this box on a shelf full of games, I would push it aside - which is the same thing you should do if you're thinking about renting this.
