You're playing... you just don't know it yet.
The Lambert Family is heading to Crescent Lake for an idyllic weekend getaway. Some fishing, some barbecue, some games...
The Fannelli brothers are heading to Crescent Lake too. Some stalking, some kidnapping, some murder, definitely some games... though certainly not the type of games the Lamberts had in mind.
But it doesn't matter.
The Lamberts are playing, whether they like it or not.
A terrifying psychological horror thriller, Bad Games will keep you up all night as it examines the evil in man and the determination of an innocent family battling horrifying odds.
BONUS! Includes the first chapter of the pulse-pounding sequel, Vengeful Games.
