Groundskeeper
The film
It was supposed to be a fun weekend. A trip away for a close-knit friend group to celebrate the end of high school. But when their estranged former best friend shows up, unannounced, with her douche boyfriend in tow… plans change. Tensions rise, friendships are tested, and the whole weekend seems hopeless. As a last-ditch attempt to save the trip, the group revisits a game from their childhood, a game inspired by a local ghost story. What started out as a fun activity turns deadly as real life begins to mirror the actions of the game, leading the friends to question each other and their own judgement. After all, no one really believes in ghosts… right?
People are pretty sharply divided on "Groundskeeper," a weekend-gone-wrong horror about a friend group whose childhood game turns deadly. The premise itself, revisiting a ghost story game as real-life terror begins, is where it loses a chunk of viewers, who find the setup too familiar and the scares predictable. However, the majority are on board, praising the believable tension within the friend group and the performances that sell those fraying relationships. It seems to work best if you buy into the core dynamic of Sarah, Jessica, Stephanie, Heather, and the others being tested by their estranged friend’s arrival.
