Stars: Peyton List, Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Brendan Meyer, Kelcey Mawema, Dylan Schombing, Miriam Smith, Jennifer Copping | Written by Damien Ober | Directed by Scooter Corkle
Two girls, Cotton (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) and Zooza (Peyton List), are trawling a garage sale when an old woman approaches them to tell them about the strange object on the table – it’s a “friendship game”, one that will tell you who your real friends are. So, of course, they buy the freakish object and get their friends Courtney (Kelcey Mawema) and Rob (Brendan Meyer) to play along. The object of the game? To place your finger on the object and reveal your deepest desires to the object and the group…
Which would, in the hands of some directors, lead to some fantastical supernatural action as our protagonists’ desires come back to bite them in the arse. In fact, if I’m honest, I was expecting...

The Friendship Game is a Canadian horror movie directed by Scooter Corkle, starring Peyton List, Brendan Meyer and Jennifer Copping.
A teen and YA horror flick that could have been better. A promising premise, a disappointing production.
Premise
A group of friends come across a strange artifact that will put their friendship at risk. All the while, a hacker watches them with her spyware.
Movie Review
Do you know when a movie is not particularly well elaborated and the story is a bit disappointing? ‘The Friendship Game’ is one such example. Following a rather flat start, and despite it, you think to yourself, “oh, I will give it a chance.” Because the premise seems promising, and we expect it to tell us a story with multiple narratives, and think, “it might actually be worth the while.”
Unfortunately, that is not the case, but, hey, we did give it a chance.
