Chase turns up the volume and relies on jump scares to build the mood, but the frights barely leap out of the screen.

"Come Play" comes alive with impressive, old-school production design and simple direction...

A Babadook knockoff for parents who are worried that their kids are spending way too much time staring at screens.

"Come Play" is merely serviceable, and leaves you with the feeling that a much better game was lost in the shuffle.
October 30, 2020 | Rating: C- | Full Review… -
This high-tech reinvention of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, complete with its monster POV shots, doesn't have the heart to make yours really skip a beat.
October 30, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
An inconsistent, flat film that is too often reliant on jump scares instead of atmosphere.

Audience Reviews for Come Play

Nov 22, 2020While the movie is definitely derivative (i.e. "The Babadook" on a phone), the acting is above average, the creature effects are not bad, and there are a few cleverly done creepy scenes using the device's camera. I'm not sure why they made Oliver an autistic pre-teen, but actor Azhy Robertson makes it believable. And is it just me, or is anybody else sick and tired of "school yard bullies harassing the child lead" trope?!? In the film's climax, there is a scene that took me by surprise in a good way (I've seen it all so I give any film kudos if it can pull that off). That actually had me take another look at the movie and I liked it more.Mark B Super Reviewer
