Come Play

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.

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.

An inconsistent, flat film that is too often reliant on jump scares instead of atmosphere.

Come Play is a creepy horror film for the whole family, but it falls short with an ending that leaves much to be desired.

Larry just wants a friend, but I wouldn't come play with this forgettable creature feature, rather block him instead.

Larry, apparently The Babadook's third cousin twice removed, gets his own motion picture with this derivative horror yarn with an interesting premise but an ill-handled approach.

While not as scary as it could have been - its PG-13 rating ensures that - Come Play is a solid outing that more than fits the bill for anyone looking for a few thrills. Just make sure to turn off your device before watching.
