A while back we reported about the new horror flick starring hottie Eliza Dushku and Mike Vogel called MAMBA. Wow, that sounds scary… psyche! Apparently everyone else thought the title was lame too, because it’s now called OPEN GRAVES (better), and the first image just surfaced online.
Wikipedia of all places has the above image of Dushku looking all deep in thought, contemplating life… in a grave yard… are they open? Are the graves opening around her? Who knows… that’s not really important. What is important though, is this lengthy synopsis, because I know you can’t wait to check this baby out!
An old game named “Mamba”, with a mysterious past, falls into the hands of a group of students. After a good day of surf and a celebration interrupted by a storm, curiosity leads the group of young people to play although they do not know anything on it; neither its sinister origin, nor its inherent powers. The young people who lost in the game begin to suffer horrible deaths. One after another they start dying in strange circumstances. The survivors, terrified, are able to learn that these deaths are related to the game and its malignant force: “Those that participate in the game and lose will die; those that are able to win will be able to request a wish”. Jason (Mike Vogel), the young North American who found the game and unconsciously introduced it between its friends, decides that he must risk his own life to undo the course of the game and to save his friends. In this task he will be accompanied by Erica (Eliza Dushku) a beautiful surfer girl that he’s just met and that he has fallen in love. Jason and Erica play again to try to win and to recover their friends through Mamba.
This was also called STAY ALIVE: BOARD GAME EDITION, but producers decided to change it at the last minute to something better, like MAMBA… I mean, OPEN GRAVES. Regardless, if this flick didn’t star Dushku and all of her hotness, it wouldn’t be worth a second look, but since it does… take another look!
