"The Game of Murder" is truly beneficial mainly in the sense that there is a desire to have our own Czech horror killer. However, despite its relatively short duration, "The Game of Murder" fails to evoke fear, neither in what we see nor in the characters' fear. There are very few horror moments and there is a complete lack of gore, which you would imagine at least in one blood spatter. I am quite curious if "The Game of Murder" will be remembered as the beginning of an extensive series. In that case, its greatest contribution would be the establishment of a certain mythology for the film. ()
