Don't listen to the negative reviews

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

** possible spoilers ** but to be honest nothing could make this film any worse. the acting is so bad . charters are non existent just the standard stereo type Europeans , only gave it a chance because niel maskell was in it and i got lot of time for him . but his shady American accent was shocking. the thing i didn't understand the most was the fact they were running around with there paintball guns like they would help them .. i just kept thinking there is someone shooting bullets at u drop the toy and f**king run . was beyond stupid . didn't even finish it . could only stand to watch 50 mins. i do like low budget horror but there still has to be something to it, other people have said it on the reviews but its like they just stole all the ideas from other films.just don't waste your time and skip this .. not even a one time watch

This film was a lot like a game of paintball in the sense that I gained nothing from it.Was 90 minutes of torture porn loosely based around a fatal game of paintball. Unless my friends and I were being incredibly thick, (unlikely) the ending made little, if not any, sense. This film was so poor I felt compelled to make an IMDb account to slate it. If you have 90 minutes you wish to fill with poor acting, thermal cameras and general shouting from annoying characters I would highly recommend this film, if not I highly advise you stay away from this film. ****SPOILER ALERT***** The black guy doesn't die first.

I don't exactly know anymore why I thought that "Paintball" could easily have been a cool and exciting survival/slasher movie when I rented it… Maybe because I went paintballing with a group of friends recently and you immediately link this game to adrenalin-rushing action and sportive kicks? Or perhaps because I have a tremendous weakness for equally obscure and similarly themed flicks from the 1980's, like "TAG: The Assassination Game", "Master Blaster" and "The Zero Boys"? All these flicks share the same plot, namely that a dim-witted but fun shootout game turns deadly when one or more participants start using real ammunition. None of them are to be considered genre classics, or even remotely great films for that matter, but they nonetheless provided pure and unpretentious entertainment. Entertainment is also exactly what I wanted to get out of "Paintball", but apparently that was too much to ask for … It's truly a dire effort, with an utterly dumb and implausible plot, and sadly also severely lacking gore, brutality and fast-paced suspense/excitement. "Paintball" is a European production – more specifically a Spanish one – and the creators obviously wanted to further exploit the worldwide impression that ALL Europeans are psychopathic butchers with a fetish for torturing Americans. Hence we're getting some kind of ridiculous mixture between the aforementioned 80's titles and Eli Roth's "Hostel". A bunch of people are in the back of a shaky truck, heading out to the remote Redwoods area and preparing themselves for a large-scaled and allegedly super-deluxe paintballing contest. Upon their first confrontation with another team already, it becomes clear that they are all defenseless puppets in much more sadistic and profitable game, run from an illegal control room somewhere in the city. It's kind of a dumb twist, if you ask me, but even more imbecilic than the plot are the totally bland and unremarkable characters. Each and every single member in the group of protagonists irritated me enormously, what with their whining and selfishness, and I literally wished for none of them to survive the ordeal. Director Daniel Benmayor also thought it would be a good idea to film all the killings from POV angle and through a sort of unclear brown camera filter. Result: the killings are hectically shot and extremely dull. There's nearly not enough bloodshed or cruelty for die-hard horror fanatics, let alone the admirers of the nowadays popular torture porn genre. The film doesn't take enough advantage of the sublime forestry filming locations and we don't learn enough about the actual villains that are running the show. "Paintball" a complete failure across all departments.

So, I read the reviews on this title because it seemed like a decent movie. I mean the idea of a paintball game where real death is involved seemed like a good idea. After reading the reviews, however, I had an all new view of this movie as one of those B-horror movies, which I always find hilarious. And lo and behold, it was correct. I came into the movie expecting a few laughs from stupid "horror" scenes. i got way more than a few. The ways that all of the characters die are so hidden that they do not seem gory at all and the overused effects make the "horror" a laughable montage of cliché deaths. Though as a B-horror movie this was not even good. It was trying too hard to be a real horror movie making it not B horror and not A horror, just A- horror.... which doesn't even exist
