Line 8:
A group of twenty-somethings find themselves in possession of this particular video game after the brutal death of their friend, and soon discover that they are being murdered in the same way as their characters died in the game. Now they must race against time to defeat the spirit of the countess in order to escape the game.

* [[The Aggressive Drug Dealer]]: What's with that Gamestop clerk? There's a scene where the cop goes to a Gamestop for information and the clerk tries to sell him a First Person Shooter as if it were heroin. It's like they just lifted a drug dealer interrogation scene from another movie and replaced all instances of "crack" with "game." He's even twitchy and neurotic, like he's been sampling his own stuff.
* [[Attack of the Killer Whatever]]
Line 14:
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: There's some of the video game references:
** The game was made by one guy working alone in his basement. Games today require a lot of artists, designers and programmers to create for commercial sale.
** The Konami Code they referenced (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A) is correct, but Swink made the reference while holding a [[
** Their [[Silent Hill|Silent Hill 4]] reference, which mentions a ''hyperblaster'' and killing a ''girl'' on "level 4".
** A beta game is not illegal to play. In fact, some games, such ''[[Halo]] 3'' and [[Minecraft]], make their betas open to the public.
Line 23:
* [[Gamer Chick]]: October.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: This movie is rated PG-13. One of the most obvious was the second victim.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]
* [[Idiot Ball]]: The game starts with a chant that the players must read. This chant summons the spirit of the Blood Countess. Okay. They don't know this yet. At the end of the movie, after the Countess is sent back to wherever, not only is the killer video game released to the gaming public, but they leave the chant in. Couldn't they have at least commented that part out of the code, or, you know, ''not'' released the game?
** Who was the "they" that released the game? There was no indication the survivors released the game.
** How about the mother of all idiot moves? When [[The Chick]] is alone with a single rose, one of the only things that can protect her from monsters, what does she do? Pick out all the petals while playing 'he loves me, he loves me not'. '''Moron.'''
* [[Ivy League for Everyone]]
* [[Kill It
* [[The Most Dangerous Video Game]] meets [[The Game Come to Life]].
* [[Nintendo Hard]]
* [[One-Way Entrance]]: Miller goes to the basement and the door slams shut! This separates him from his friends.
* [[Pac-Man Fever]]: The movie gets certain details ''close'' enough to right that it serves only to piss off the few audience members that actually know what they're talking about.
* [[Shout
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Despite the things they got wrong above, some of their video game references are correct, which is because they hired [[Epic Games|CliffyB]] as their consultant.
* [[Stock Scream]]: Used when the goth girl is attacked.
