A masked maniac with a penchant for a monster-themed board game is playing his own twisted game with the women of a small American town. Each time the dice are rolled, another victim meets a grisly end. Returning home to mourn the death of her murdered sister, Keegan befriends local cop Roger and reclusive cinema projectionist Billy — but soon finds herself in the killer's sights.

Starts off well enough with decent suspense and kill (not to mention gratuitous nudity in a day for night shot no less) but the rest of the film was pretty boring, not to mention some annoying characters and bad acting. Despite being fairly short, I found most of this to be rather dull and a twist that wasn't very effective. No wonder this early 80s slasher had been forgotten. 1.25/5
