Vertical Entertainment has released the trailer for a new demonic possession horror thriller titled All Fun and Games. The movie stars Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game) as a young man who finds himself getting possessed by a demon after he participates in a game involving a mysterious cursed old knife.
The film “explores the elements of cruelty inherent in children’s games – Flashlight Tag, Hangman, Hide & Seek – and what happens when the games go too far. A group of Salem teens who discover a cursed knife that unleashes a demon that forces them to play gruesome, deadly versions of childhood games where there can be no winners, only survivors.”
After Butterfield’s character Marcus is possessed, he starts to hunt down his friends through a series of deadly childhood games.
