Screening notes: La Decima Vitimma (The Tenth Victim)

Killer games started to pop up in American University campuses after the film The Tenth Victim was released in the United States. Killer games are assassination style games where a player is given some information about a "target" and the player must then "kill" the target with some sort of non lethal weapon.

The film The Tenth Victim takes place in a future society where human hunts are staged, participants adopt parts of the hunter and the hunter, killing each other as part of the competition. The film follows 2 characters on that are both on their final kill, the tenth victim, whoever dies the other person will reap the reward, a jackpot prize. 

With that brief overview of The Tenth Victim you can now see how closely linked the movie and the game are.
