“A psychedelic Deliverance.” Oscilloscope Labs has revealed their new official US trailer for the peculiar UK thriller titled simply Game, not to be confused with David Fincher’s cult classic fave The Game or that Gerard Butler video game action movie Gamer from 2009. Game is a thriller set during the ’90s British rave scene, where two men, one a thief and one a poacher, must use their wits to survive after a car crash in the woods. As the hours stretch and the elements close in, survival hinges on outlasting both the wilderness and the predator at its edge. It’s produced by Geoff Barrow of the band Portishead, trying out something new. Starring Marc Bessant & Jason Williamson. We posted an original UK trailer for this film last year just before it premiered. Now it’s finally ready for a US release playing at Alamo Drafthouse cinemas starting in December. This is such a strange concept mixing rave scenes + wilderness survival into a crazy mindbender.
Here’s the official US trailer (+ poster) for John Minton’s film Game, direct from OScope’s YouTube:
Late summer 1993. After stealing a stash of money and drugs, aging raver David (Marc Bessant) crashes his car deep in the woods – trapped in the wreckage, injured and helpless, he hangs suspended between life & death. When a mysterious poacher (Jason Williamson) discovers him, no rescue comes, only a watchful, unsettling presence that seems intent on letting nature finish the job. As the hours stretch and the elements close in, a tense and claustrophobic battle of wills, and wits, unfolds – where survival hinges on outlasting both the wilderness and the predator at its edge. Game is directed by British filmmaker John Minton, making his feature directorial debut with this new project. The screenplay is co-written by Geoff Barrow, Marc Bessant, John Minton, and Rob Williams. It’s produced by Geoff Barrow & Deborah Rawlings. This first premiered at a few festivals in 2025 last year. Oscilloscope Films releases Minton’s Game film in select US theaters starting on December 4th, 2026 this winter. For more info, visit their official site. Intrigued?
