7.5/10
A Spanish werewolf comedy/horror, I spent a lot of time wondering where the "game" of the title came from (the Spanish title is "Lobos de Arga", Arga being the town hit by the werewolf epidemic). I can only guess it was born of the word's recent media popularity, what with Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games.
The plot is pretty silly, and the movie borrows heavily from the Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz films, but the jokes are pretty funny, the gore is solid, and the werewolves themselves look refreshingly old school and relatively CGI free. It's no masterpiece but as far as crowd-pleasing festival fare goes, it's a good time.
