    Lol. I can't even find the right words to describe how bad this movie is. The only good thing about it probably is the recognizable cast. And Edward Furlong...I didn't think he'd grow up to look this way but age certainly did not become him. Everything was just all over the place.

    A pretty typical slasher movie. The basic idea is a nut-case offers people $1M to play a reality game. The game has challenges. You win the challenge and the nutcase kills you.

However, they do keep Nicole Bilderback for a while and she has a cool martial arts scene. As dark as the story was, I sensed that the cast had a blast and it comes across well. It still becomes a hack and slasher movie, but they do it well.

    I thought this movie was very interesting with the whole "reality t.v." angle. A pretty good "B" type movie with some very recognizable faces.

    For a Dodgy Budget film, I was actually quite surprised by this one! Maybe I was just in an easy to please mood, im not sure, but it held my interest for what it was, and had enough gore to satisfy as well!
