Many people consider the wonderful concept of "friends forever" throughout high school. Even in the face of significant changes like relocation, desires for further education, and personal growth, it can be difficult for some people to contemplate growing apart from their closest friends. In his horror mystery/thriller, screenwriter Damien Ober explores these ideas in an effort to test the friendships of a group of high school pals as they enter new phases of their lives. Scooter Corkle's The Friendship Game had everything it required to be a hit in this category. The movie, however, frequently tries to take on too much, and the result is a massive letdown.

At least that is what they believe before a mystery object sends Cotton (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), Zooza (Peyton List), Courtney (Kelcey Mawema), and Robbie (Brendan Meyer) through a series of trials to test the strength of their bonds. The following few days put their love for one another to the test as they spoke their greatest desires to one another while caressing the bizarre object. The game rewards the other players' aspirations while one of the friends goes missing. To make matters worse, when players progress further in the game, the object's effects become more damaging.

In his horror film, Scooter Corkle asks, "What happens to one's friendships as life progresses and individuals age?" It's a sincere query and a fantastic starting point for a storyline that revolves around the anxiety associated with feeling left behind as classmates start to forge new identities for themselves. The Friendship Game, on the other hand, suffers greatly from doing too much with a narrative that provides very little. The characters are thin and appear to overreact in an irrational way at every turn. Strange editing and event sequencing tend to interfere with the story's natural development. In essence, there was potential, but far too many things went wrong for this to be considered a must-watch.
