Open Graves

Jason stumbles upon a strange board game called Mamba, found among old boards at a seaside flea market. When his surf crew starts playing, the game seems to unleash a deadly curse that claims the losers in brutal ways. The promise of a wish for the winner hangs over every roll of the dice, sowing fear and greed among friends. As one by one the players fall, Jason realizes that stopping the nightmare may require him to keep playing rather than quit. He forces himself to roll again, hoping that a final wish could reverse the damage, even as Erica, his girlfriend, worries about the cost of victory. Erica fears for their lives and the chance to escape. The game calls.

Directed by Álvaro de Armiñán, Open Graves adapts the Taylor brothers concept for the screen. The cast features Mike Vogel, Eliza Dushku, and Ethan Rains, with Naike Rivelli and Lindsay Robba rounding out the ensemble, and a lean practical approach.
