Blood Games is a 1990 action/slasher film that tells the story of a group of female softball players who get stranded in a small town after their bus breaks down. The girls are forced to spend the night in a local motel, where they are terrorized by a group of psychotic, sadistic hunters who seek to hunt them down and kill them for sport.
The movie starts with a group of young women traveling in a bus to take part in a softball game tournament. They mistakenly take a short cut and end up stranded in a small town, which appears to be in the middle of nowhere. The girls decide to take refuge in a nearby motel, where they hope to spend the night and get some rest. However, their plans are thwarted when they soon become the targets of a deranged group of hunters who are obsessed with killing for sport. Led by the ruthless headhunter, Reno (played by Gregory Scott Cummins), the hunters begin their bloody game of cat-and-mouse with the women.
The soft-ball players are not helpless, as they fight back with all their might. One of the girls, Kristen (played by Laura Albert), was a former boxer and has some fighting skills. She leads the others and tries to protect her teammates from the hunters. Meanwhile, the motel owner, Anna (played by Lee Benton), a former victim of the hunters herself, offers her help to the girls to escape the hunted motel. Kristen eventually schemes a plan with Anna to stop the hunters once and for all.
The movie revolves around the hunters' sadistic games, with the women being their prey. The hunters are a mix of the young and the old, each sadistic in their own way. Reno is the leader of the group. He is a calm and collected man, but with a twisted mind. He seems to enjoy watching his victims suffer before ultimately taking their lives. Reno is assisted by his brother, who is as crazy as Reno is. The hunters hunt the girls with different weapons, ranging from bows and arrows to guns.
The motel setting is quite creepy and adds to the overall tense and suspenseful atmosphere. As the movie progresses, the situation for the girls becomes more and more dire, and the killings become more brutal.
The movie manages to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats with its non-stop action and suspenseful scenes.
