Come Play

It's as if someone put the Slenderman meme, the scary girl from The Ring franchise, The Babadook and a few others through a woodchipper and sprayed the resulting mulch on to the screen.

There was so much fun to be had along the way. Chase takes his story much too seriously to entertain that proposition. It's suffused with an atmosphere of dogged naturalism, rooted so firmly in the everyday that fun might well be a foreign word.

A handful of creative scare scenes aren't worth the endless minutes of pointless filler that bloat this slender tale to a feature length that it simply can't sustain.

Sadly, the preview for the film was scarier than the movie. "Come Play" goes from creepy to cheesy real quick.

Come Play is a creepy horror film for the whole family, but it falls short with an ending that leaves much to be desired.
