Engels There haven’t been many horror B-movies like this lately, and most of them are the same, featuring a weak and unoriginal idea, stereotypical scares, zero atmosphere and mediocre workmanship. Come Play can happily join this category, because a "monster" hidden in a phone or tablet that terrorizes children sounds stupid enough already on paper. The characters are uninteresting, psychologically empty and you don’t care what happens to them. The other stuff (like the autistic man talking through a phone app, inviting three bullies to a sleepover) is just nonsensical on its own and adds up to a disjointed stew that will entertain undemanding viewers who devour anything, but I wasn't impressed by this and the unfinished details literally bother me, because one idea doesn't make a movie.

Engels A solid mainstream horror film that should appeal to all undemanding viewers. The story revolves around a young autistic boy who has a hard time in life and has no friends, but everything changes when he gets a tablet through which Larry, a being from another world with a sufficiently creepy appearance and unpleasant sounds, speaks to him. The film has a decent atmosphere, the craftsmanship is top notch, the scares weren't too spectacular for me, but there are at least three great ones that come in the finale (the scene under the bed leads the way), and most importantly, the film doesn't manage to bore or annoy in any way. I was expecting a scarier load, but from the ranks of children's horror films with clever and original use of tablets, Come Play is one of the better ones this year. Story***, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence>No. Entertainment****, Music****, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense****. 7.5/10. ()

Engels Again, a completely average horror movie with the main child protagonist, which reminded me of several similar pieces, like as ricci wrote here recently, "Z". A few horror elements worked, the monster is nice, but not groundbreaking. I don't really know what more to write about it, perhaps just that it's pointless to keep making these types of films when they are almost indistinguishable from each other. Also, kids shouldn't just keep staring at their phones all the time. ()
