In the vein of Final Destination, an international group of young surfers come into possession of an ancient artifact, Mamba, an old board game made from the skin and bones of a witch executed during the Spanish Inquisition. At a drunken party one night, they casually decide to play. Its all fun and games until they find out that curses last forever and death is the ultimate undertow.

I watched a HDTV cap of this from SyFy, so I'm not sure if it was censored, cut in any way or missing anything. It still had a horribly desynched sound for about 3 minutes, so avoid it if you want to see it.
I've enjoyed it probably more than I should and much more than I was expecting (but then as with a lot of movies I didn't expect to enjoy it much at all). It's another one "off an assembly line" ready made horror movie - a bunch of ignorant Americans get a hold of something "old" and "magic" and mess with it. Cue the series of (more or less) horrible deaths that follow until about an hour later the last surviving girl (or sometimes a boy, the "boy" in this case being a guy in his 30s) figures out how to outsmart (usually pretty easy) the thing.
The "boys" are appropriately dickish and the "girls" are appropriately whorish, so at least the characters seem believable (and the evil flesh-eating crabs were cute too). Recently I've had the impression that wherever I turn I see Jeremy Sisto and this time was no different, but it turned out to be just some "kid" (a guy in his mid 20s). Phew.
That said, I have no idea why - and more importantly how - would anyone in the XV century Spain make a board game fully in XXI century American English. But then again witchcraft was involved, so... so I still don't know, the subject is not even touched on by anybody at any point.
All that aside, it's crap and lots of lame CGI didn't help. 3.3/10. (Yeah, Eliza D. might not be 20 years old anymore, but she can still bump up any enjoyment rating.)
Oh, and my favourite exchange: "So, she's a smart girl?" "No, a typical American."

Sexy body and tatoo don't guarantee nothing
"Beauty body" is transient, and for all what else is sexy. Every woman most sex have in the own brain.
Hungry fame-less chick who wanna be a celeb
Simple Beauty and her filmography is not shocking. I see first time this face in this foto.
I don't do not associate this small chick from any film, I have no memory of this kind of faces and actress.
