PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the "Deadly Games" VARUKERS CD compilation (Abstract Sounds, c. 1994), plus added CD liner notes elaborating on the history of the band.

"We don't normally post CDs, but we were unable to source photos of the original vinyl version of the release from 1989, and the liner notes are interesting."

Deadly Games (1982)

3615 Code Pére Noel (A.k.a. Game Over, or Deadly Games) (1989)

A home invader attacks a young boy with the house rigged with gadgets.

The lead actors carried the drama well, particularly the main antagonist who got very few lines but still maintained several character affectations, and the young boy who even got to display a fair bit of emotion. The traps were interesting enough too and it’s always satisfying when a few aren’t pulled off quite as meant and gives them some realism.

It’s a little too bizarre than a child with any toys he wants can end up putting time into learning skills that are actively useful, including some weapons training. Most of the other characters were too useless, some even being irrelevant because the house is so remote, although the ineptitude of the police came as no surprise. The sub-plot with the friend should have had more connection but he leaves and we don’t see him again.

Some of the story got enjoyably dark which sets the film apart from the more comedic tellings of the story, but it also didn’t depend too much on gore. The dog killing was done brutally on screen but the blood was minimal so it was all the more effective. It was also satisfying that the horror wasn’t undermined by an overly happy ending that immediately forgets the trauma of the night.

Occasionally the music was a little too overt and takes one out of the moment but largely it’s effective and enjoyable. It’s easy to compare it to Home Alone (1990) even though it doesn’t get the credit for being a year in advance. The darker tone is more entertaining but makes it less likely to be worth more than one view.

5/10 -Can’t find a better example of average-

There is something not quite right.

Meetings are held at midnight.

Dark shadows creep the street.

THE DESERTED MANSION

The mansion is dreary.One should be leeryof entering its gate.Better leave it to fate. Each room offers a viewof history for you.Beautifully furnished roomsswept clean by invisible brooms. “Who lives here?” you might askif you dare take him to the task.“Only I,” he might replywith a twinkle in his eye. He steps closer to me.His eyes are red I can see.Is he a creature of the night?My heart…
