Michael Ledo Philip (Edward Furlong) is a reality show loser who decides to set up his own reality show with nine contestants who will be killed off one at a time. Fairly standard stuff. Edward Furlong brings an added dimension to the feature, but not enough to save a mediocre script. Available on DVD multi-packs. Guide: F-word. Brief sex. No nudity
jet66 Edward Furlong reaches critical mass in this roll, which is buttered with gargantuan heaviness. Though the story is famished for what anyone might term logical structure, Mr. Furlong seems hungry to chew his way through every scene. Some might think he's becoming too big for such movies, squeezing into them like 5-pounds of marbled pork in a two-pound sausage casing. But I think he's a dollop of awesome; a soupçon of superb; and the thick, calorie-laden icing on what might otherwise be a rather slender cinematic cake. It doesn't matter that the director seems to have "written" this while shooting it, nor that the film runs out without any explicable ending. It has the enormous talent of Edward Furlong, who feasts on the meager dramatic opportunities as if they were a banquet.
jam44 Two moron brothers create a reality series in which nine people live in a house full of cameras and compete against each other in challenges, the winner gets a million dollars at the end, but if they get voted out or lose a challenge they die. Horror movies based on reality TV are very common and they always seem to be the same thing, cameras, retarded murderers etc. The movie was entertaining but the plot wasn't at all original, much like the way the contestants die no creativity, making it very cliché. The acting was acceptable though to put in a good point, the biggest star Jamie Pressley doesn't have a big role in the film, even though her name is plastered all over the DVD cover. It was also lame that the Asian character pulled out Kung fu moves *sigh* poor steryotped Mikko. 4/10
susieq3 I saw this at Screamfest where it was playing as the opening night movie. Having not heard anything about it before, I was surprised by how cool it was. Totally unpredictable from start to finish. The crowd went crazy from laughing, to gasping, to yelling at the screen. I told some friends about it who are way into Ed Furlong. He was awesome. Scary fun. A total trip. Let's face it, reality television is totally played out. I recommend it for anyone who loves to hate reality TV! I'm a girl, but have to admit that Jaime Pressly looked hot ;) I'm trying to find out who did the music at the end, because it sounded like someone famous. No spoilers, but the ending made me wonder if they're gonna do part two.
