Playing Columbine
Watch TrailerChronicles the history of the game "Super Columbine Massacre RPG!." The film traces back the 16-bit role-playing game to its inception, through the 2006 shooting at Dawson College in which the game was singled out by the media as a "murder simulator" that "trained" the shooter, and finally the game's removal from the list of finalists at the Slamdance 2007 Guerrilla Gamemaker Competition - prompting half the entries and a sponsor to pull out of the festival in protest.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Playing Columbine has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.7/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A 2008 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
