In this 1982 film noir-inspired gem, a group of students turns dorm life into a mock battle royale by playing a game that could never be done on campuses of today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe rules of TAG are simple. Players try to \"murder\" each other using rubber-tipped toy dart guns. If you are shot, you are \"killed\" and taken out of the game permanently until only one player remains. Unfortunately for this year's TAG players, one sore loser is determined to win at any cost, even if it means murdering his competition for real!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWriter-director Nick Castle, a frequent collaborator with long-time friend and associate John Carpenter, is widely known as Michael \"The Shape\" Myers in 1978's horror classic Halloween. With his directorial debut, he demonstrates a knack for clever tension and spins this film's concept into a wry and charming thriller. Forgotten for years, TAG: The Assassination Game endures as a cult curiosity — a sharp, stylish reminder that sometimes the most dangerous games are the ones we invent for fun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features and Technical Specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio Commentary with writer-director Nick Castle and star Robert Carradine, moderated by Horror's Hallowed Grounds' Sean Clark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal theatrical trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiner notes by Dustin Morrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"TAG Facts\" film poster reproduction card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English subtitles for the main feature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SYNAPSE FILMS","offers":[{"title":"BLU-RAY","offer_id":49175254073563,"sku":null,"price":28.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6379\/4395\/files\/414015_front.jpg?v=1787524718","url":"https:\/\/baystvideo.com\/products\/tag-the-assassination-game","provider":"Bay Street Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
