The "horror" in this horror movie is the compelling reality of living or in this case dying as the result of impulsive choices made for all the wrong reasons., 11 ÁPRILIS 2006

As a psychiatrist I found this movie chillingly instructive. The years from eighteen to twenty seven are formative in their ability to destroy one's life based on choices made during periods of depression, low self esteem, rejection, peer pressure, mental illness. This theme is beautifully portrayed in "Roulette." With the stark reality as members and astute observer's of this generation, the Directors tell the story of five young people who choose poorly. The pacing of the movie enhances the impulsive decisions of the five to play roulette. The winner will take home the money but this has nothing to do with the true motives for taunting death. Are these five young people all suicidal in their own way? Perhaps! Are their reasons for putting the gun to their heads compelling? Of course! Can they really understand the consequences of their actions. No way! At least not until the blood flows. Then their lives are over. It just takes a little while for them to die. Had they not played the game the evolution of their lives would have carried them beyond adolescence into adulthood, which confers on it's participants the life experiences that make life bearable, understandable, and even enjoyable. Unfortunately many young people never find that out. Other than auto accidents, the number one cause of death in this age group is suicide. "Roulette" explores this horrible fact better than any psychiatric text or lecture.
