There are deadly games afoot in Salem, MA.
Vertical will release ALL FUN AND GAMES to select theaters and VOD platforms September 1. Directed by Eren Celeboglu and Ari Costa from a script they wrote with J.J. Braider, it stars STRANGER THINGS’ Natalia Dyer, Asa Butterfield (FLUX GOURMET, SLAUGHTERHOUSE RULEZ), Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Laurel Marsden, Kolton Stewart, and Annabeth Gish (MIDNIGHT MASS, THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE). The synopsis: “ALL FUN AND GAMES explores the elements of cruelty inherent in children’s games–Flashlight Tag, Hangman, Hide & Seek–and what happens when the games go too far. When a group of Salem teens find a cursed knife in the woods, they unleash a malevolent demon that will not rest until it has claimed all of their lives and souls in a terrifying deathmatch.”
