OMG... WE ARE IN A HORROR MOVIE

Cinemavixion Review

Ajala Bandele's 2016 film, "OMG... WE ARE IN A HORROR MOVIE," plunges a group of six friends into a terrifying meta-narrative. What begins as a casual board game night quickly devolves into a desperate fight for survival when a disembodied voice from the heavens declares them participants in a real-life horror movie. The film cleverly plays with genre conventions, forcing its characters to confront the very tropes that threaten to dictate their demise. As the lines blur between audience and actor, friend and foe, the friends must navigate the treacherous landscape of horror archetypes to break free from their cinematic prison. The central question becomes not just who will survive, but whether they can subvert the expectations of the genre itself to escape their grim fate. Bandele, who also stars in the film alongside Jenny Curtis and Liz Fenning, crafts a suspenseful and self-aware thriller that questions the nature of storytelling and the power of cinematic expectation.
