Set in New Orleans, the plot revolves around a sinister video game where if your character dies, you will die in exactly the same way. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time this convention has been utilized (see Emilio Estevez part of this movie). In any case, the film is highly ineffective. I suppose one could give credit for using a fairly non-conventional setting,( i.e. New Orleans instead of random big city suburbs), as well as blending in some gothic, voodoo, creole themes, however at the end of the day, the movie does nothing to impact my actions in daily life. If it were effective, I would ostensibly want to stop playing video games for awhile, just like I stopped camping in the woods for a loooong time after I first saw this. Instead, I am once again angered at having been duped into watching something just because it was on Showtime HD. Damn LCD television has really clouded my judgment...
