Title: Trying to find a thriller film title - any ideas appreciated Post by: missynails on January 25, 2009, 06:26:35 AM A couple of years ago my dad saw a film in WH Smiths, but refused to buy the film at the time.
It was about a game with 6 people and the person that won the game was the only one to survive. I know its not much to go on but it's all we can remember - if anyone can help i would appreciate it.

Did the cover give any clues as to when the movie was made? Was it a new movie? Was it a "civilized" looking movie, or a rough adventure movie (i.e., did it look like the main selling point was the violence or the suspense)?
The one that immediately came to my mind was The Condemned, starring "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. That was the most recent one that I've seen.

If I recall right, Stay Alive had six kids. Check it out.
Title: Re: Trying to find a thriller film title - any ideas appreciated Post by: schmendrik on February 16, 2009, 05:37:51 PM There's a movie about a future reality TV game show where the contestants are all trying to kill each other. I can remember a lot of details but not the name, unfortunately. One is a teenage girl who is gushing about the new gun her dad (or was it her boyfriend?) gave her for the show.
Does that sound like it? Title: Re: Trying to find a thriller film title - any ideas appreciated Post by: schmendrik on February 16, 2009, 05:41:29 PM As usual, once I've composed a response to one of these I've remembered enough details to search for the movie.
The movie I was thinking of was Series 7: The Contenders. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251031/ Is that the movie you were thinking of?

and featured Andrew Dice Clay. Also there's a tales from the darkside episode " I think" where there's a bunch of people in a room like in the future or something and the teacher is trying to incite one person to shoot the other.

THE CONDEMNED seems a good guess too.
