What do we know about All Fun and Games?
All Fun and Games is co-directed by Ari Costa and Eren Celeboglu, both making their feature film debuts. The film was written by Costa, Celeboglu and JJ Braider (Vampire Academy). Behind the project are the production companies Anton (The Night House) and AGBO (Everything Everywhere All at Once) of the Russo Brothers.
In addition to Dyer (Stranger Things) and Butterfield (Sex Education), the feature film will also star Benjamin Ainsworth (The Haunting of Bly Manor), Laurel Marsden (The Exorcist of the Pope), Kolton Stewart (Locke & Key) and Annabeth Gish (Midnight Mass). . .
“The film examines the elements of cruelty inherent in children’s games – flashlight tag, hangman, hide-and-seek – and what happens when the games go too far,” reads a brief synopsis of the film. “When a group of teenagers find a cursed knife in the forest, they unleash a malevolent demon that will not rest until it has claimed their very lives and souls in a horrifying deathmatch.”
All Fun and Games is scheduled for release on September 1, 2023.
