Clue, a movie released in 1985, was based on a 1949 board game. For those not familiar, Clue is the story of six guests who are anonymously invited to an eerie New England mansion for dinner on a stormy evening in 1954. After their host is killed, the guests, who are all given an alias to protect their identities, must work together to identify who has murdered not only the host but several subsequent victims. The movie not only offers mystery but also suspense and comedy. As captivating as the creepy mansion is, the dynamic characters steal the show with unexpected backstories and quirky personalities.
