What few things could you blend together to get a rabid horror fan interested? Well, you could start by casting the sexy Eliza Dushku, then you can have her find an old satanic board game, then you can take the plot of Stay Alive and Zathuru and blend it together inot something that actually sounds interesting. Welcome to Mamba, the next game that when you lose, you really, really lose. Read on for details.
MADRID — North American thesps Eliza Dushku ("Tru Calling") and Mike Vogel ("Poseidon") are toplining the English-language teen-thriller "Mamba," according to Variety.
