About

You may like this if you enjoy dark coming-of-age stories that mix childhood play with rising tension, especially if Lord of the Flies-style conflict appeals to you; Not for you if you want a light, clearly comedic adventure.

Pros: original premise; tense atmosphere; vivid childhood imagination | Cons: uneven child acting; confusing rules at times; more awkward than funny
