Synopsis: A group of apparent strangers are all invited to a mysterious mansion where a murder mystery begins to unfold.
The Good: It has a fairly decent plot and some interesting twists. It walks a line between modern and period peace. It does a very decent job of portraying the locked room, murder mystery theme to the letter.
The Bad: It feels very much like a BBC, made for TV movie. A stage play version, with a main character that’s fun but too common, too average for a leading role. As a limited series it would work better. All the characters are by design, tropes. The twist is good but also kind of unsurprising after the fact.
Best Line: :Games on top of games.”
Fun Fact: Alex Hyde-White (Sean) is the son of Wilfrid Hyde-White who appeared in the film ‘Ten Little Indians’, an adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel that inspired this film
