Better than 99% of horror films on the market

"Roulette" simply reaffirms that talented individuals, even without major funding, typically produce a more engaging, rewarding, and just plain better end product than their high budget counterparts.

The writers/directors of "Roulette" set up a great premise and then actually delivers with scenes that are so intense and visceral that you will be shocked and terrified, but unable to turn away.

"Roulette" quickly connects with the viewer through honest acting and a compelling story line. The camera-work and editing is innovative and exciting, and the fact that it was filmed on video adds to the authenticity and tension to the movie.

"Roulette" is built around a seemingly random group of individuals who are brought together for a fateful night that leaves them changed forever and possibly beyond salvation. The plot line careens bloodily towards a climax that brings closure, but, true to real life, does not provide easy answers.

Consider watching "Roulette" before settling for the mainstream dreck that will leave you feeling empty, disappointed, and like you've just wasted 90 minutes of your life (i.e. "Hostel", "Silent Hill", "Wolf Creek", and on and on). "Roulette" is a more fulfilling, more unique, and a hell of a lot scarier experience!

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The thriller genre features suspense, tension, and excitement. These stories are known for keeping audiences on the edge of their seats and delivering intense emotional experiences by revolving around high-stakes situations, dangerous conflicts, and the constant anticipation of unexpected events.

The motion picture, Roulette, is a psychological thriller about five characters who engage in a fatal game of Russian Roulette. The characters are: Pete, a dark cynic interested in the metaphysical; Paul, an awkward and nerdy teenager with an infatuation with planes and trying to fit in; Amy, distraught after discovering her boyfriend has left her; Troy, a womanizing Hollywood cliché; and Scott, an effeminate determined to prove his machismo. After the inevitable death of one of the players, panic leads to terror as they devise a plan to cover up the death as a suicide lest they implicate themselves in murder or be suspected as accessories to the act. Exactly one year later, the guilt-ridden survivors find themselves stalked by their dead friend's vengeful spirit.
