Aram is a wearied accountant with an unbearably dull existence. With a nagging wife who berates him for not being assertive enough, and a measly paycheck, he quietly suffers while awaiting a long-deserved promotion. But there's more to Aram than his mild-mannered demeanor lets on: he has been secretly devising a scheme to finally get what he feels he is owed. One day he asserts his power menacingly when he kidnaps a schoolgirl and keeps her tied up in an abandoned warehouse. What seems like the perfect plan soon unravels into his worst nightmare, and his carefully constructed scheme comes crashing down piece by bloody piece.
Who would love this
- ♥Fans of dark thrillers, crime dramas with a twist, and auteur-driven genre films would likely appreciate "Evil Games." Viewers who enjoy films that explore morally ambiguous characters, delve into psychological suspense, and aren't afraid of graphic violence and dark humor would find this appealing. Those familiar with and appreciative of Adrián García Bogliano's previous work, such as "Here Comes the Devil" or "Cold Sweat," are also likely to enjoy it.
Who might not
- ✗Viewers seeking straightforward horror, light-hearted entertainment, or conventional hero narratives might dislike "Evil Games." Those who prefer clear-cut morality, predictable plots, or find excessive violence off-putting may find the film challenging or unpleasant. The film's potential for tonal shifts and its commitment to a dark, often bleak, outlook could alienate audiences looking for a more conventional or uplifting cinematic experience.
