Kam Williams NewsBlaze This cross of reality-TV with slasher thriller is a clever and compelling enough adventure to keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat right up to the shocking conclusion. And finally, a horror flick where the black guy doesn't die first! Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 6, 2007 Full Review Reel.com Rated: 2/4 Nov 4, 2006 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson L.A. Weekly Watchable, but not quite a cult classic. Oct 26, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Good lord what a pile of crap. Lazy premise, terrible acting, pointless, boring. If your here for the slashing, just fast forward. Or don't watch it at all. Probably your best option Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical, cheesy and tame. But still, I guess it's an alright way to waste some time... Edward Furlong needs to stay in the 90s where he belongs though. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A mixture between b movie and fear factor. very watchable but ridiculous at times. Edward Furlong plays himself witch is the only believable thing about this movie. But it still has its moments. A movie to watch in between movies. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member While certainly entertaining in parts, the poor concept & over-acting brings it down and it ends up being a bit of a mess. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A disgusted, annoying, sadistic,: insane television producer of a reality TV show is the villain of this b-grade film. Overall it moved along quickly and covered all of its bass. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 76% Maybe if something like this happened in the real world, "reality" shows would get the axe. We can only pray.
