So between this and the Haunting of Hill House, it's safe to say Carla Gugino enjoys being a motivational spirit, can she be mine? Anywho, this was a bit of a mixed bag. Definitely starts off strong, if your fears of claustrophobia and hell, even wrist wrash don't kick in, bless your soul, but it kind of slowly loses steam. The scenes with the Daddy issues feel a bit hammy and on the nose, at times you're not sure if this is going for a mental health type of fear or Cujo but in a bed. Gugino gives it her all and this is one that really could have failed if not for her sheer dedication in a role where she's mainly playing off herself, but for a movie with game in the title, it doesn't play back. Irony being that for a majority of the movie, she may be shackled, but the movie lumbers along.
2/4
