The premise

In Grace Arbor the answers are never clear. Who is underneath the mask? This is the story of a group of high school kids - all popular, good looking, "most likely to succeed" types - who amuse themselves by pulling pranks on unsuspecting students and teachers. At their core lies a cruelty and shallowness which comes with the territory of privilege. One night, a prank goes horribly wrong, a teenager is killed, and the gang covers it up as a drowning accident but five years later, their lives are turned upside down when a local is killed by a serial killer wearing a haunting Marilyn Monroe mask. Soon, the gang are killed one by one in manners mirroring the pranks they pulled in high school. Is it revenge? Is it karma?

Horror Vault's take

Five years after a fatal prank is buried as an accident, a masked killer begins picking off the guilty parties one by one — each death a twisted echo of their past cruelties. Set in the small town of Grace Arbor, Kill Game zeroes in on a clique of attractive, privileged former high-schoolers who are now forced to reckon with what they tried so hard to forget. A Marilyn Monroe mask becomes a symbol of dread as the body count rises and paranoia tears the group apart. The film keeps its whodunit engine running throughout, daring viewers to figure out who's behind the disguise.
