Film facts:
Stupid Games was shot in six days with one additional day for inserts on a $10,000 budget. The shooting schedule was almost chronological to the script except for a few scenes.
The film was heavily influenced by the vibe and atmosphere of ’90s movies. Wanting to stay true to the practical effects of the ’80s/’90s, the filmmakers opted for magnets and wires for the effects in the film instead of green screens.
