Skip it—this sounds like it's trying to capitalize on cyberbullying outrage with a half-baked premise that confuses a moral message with actual entertainment. The concept of gamers forced into real-life death matches could work, but pairing it with the cyber-bullying angle feels preachy rather than thrilling, and without strong execution or buzz behind it, this is a night better spent elsewhere.

Plot

A group of online gamers must kill each other to survive in a real world death-match based on their computer game in which they cyber-bullied and humiliated a classmate.
