The Sacrifice Game Review: Uneven Performances & Poor Dialogue Color The Horror Experience

Jenn Wexler’s latest effort, The Sacrifice Game starts strong but never lives up to the promise of its opening scene. She co-wrote the film with Sean Redlitz, and the result is an average film for Shudder, but a slog for those unfamiliar with the streamer’s film slate. The production value is solid but doesn’t elevate the film. However, the costumes and music do a lot to make The Sacrifice Game stylish, if nothing else. Like many projects with children at the center, the performances can be hit or miss. Here, the cast is working within the confines of the script to make a campy and grotesque horror film. The Sacrifice Game is nothing special, but it might get the job done for die-hard Shudder fans.
