Where to watch Trailer

Tony, a middle-aged man, is sitting at a table with a chessboard setup. Brent, in his early twenties, walks into the cafe and takes a seat across from Tony. They play a game of chess while they talk about business, through the lens of chess. Tony is clearly a veteran that has been playing a long time, and knows his way around the board. Brent is new to the game, but has a creativity and strategy that Tony can’t read.

How scary is The Gambit?

Nobody has rated it yet. Ratings on Scare Scale come from people who've watched the film, and score five kinds of scare out of 10:

Gore: Blood, injuries and body horror shown on screen. Violence that happens off-screen barely counts.
Creepy: Unsettling images, atmosphere and things that feel wrong. Not sudden shocks (Jumpscares) or waiting for something to happen (Suspense).
Jumpscares: Sudden shocks designed to make you jump, usually a fast movement or a loud noise. Not slow-building dread (Suspense).
Suspense: Tension and dread while you wait for something to happen. Not the scare itself when it arrives (Jumpscares or Gore).
Psychological: Horror that gets in your head: paranoia, madness, doubting what's real and ideas that stay with you. Not how a scene looks (Creepy) or feels in the moment (Suspense).
