Down-and-out backup singer and celebrity ex-husband Kasper is invited to compete in the Funhouse, an online 'Big Brother' style reality show. To rebrand his image and tarnished reputation, Kasper reluctantly accepts the offer. Together with 7 other C-list celebrities from around the globe he will compete for the prize of 5 million dollars. At first, the Funhouse is just as the name suggests, full of wild times, budding friendships, love connections and brewing rivalries. To everyone's surprise, the fun quickly turns into misery when the first challenge leaves one of the contestants brutally murdered.

A punishing social media satire.

The film would have benefited from a compelling villain rather than its peevish, sneering dude dropping wan witticisms...

Slant Magazine

Throughout, it's difficult to sort the contrivances that writer-director Jason William Lee is parodying from those he's indulging.

Rated: 1.5/4

Cinema Sight

By Saw standards, the ingenuity of the death traps is incredibly weak. They involve a baseball bat and an axe fight among other less than inspired torture devices.

Rated: 1.5/4

Unevenly paced and insistent on spelling out its themes in leaden dialogue, Funhouse isn’t the trenchant social commentary it wants to be, nor is it fun enough to enjoy with your brain turned off.

Tudo é muito ruim e feito primitivamente, o que salva são alguns diálogos críticos a sociedade atual, mas mesmo assim, não vale a pena a perca de tempo em se assistir.

A harsh look at social media influences in the modern age, Funhouse is a brutal and interesting film with plenty of twists and turns

Survival movie non particolarmente originale in cui un gruppo di star dei social viene rinchiuso in una specie di bunker tecnologico e viene progressivamente sterminato con metodi violenti e non molto fantasiosi. Si percepisce per tutto il film una fastidiosa assenza di idee originali che risultano essere essenziali per questa tipologia di trama. Sia le morti che i loro metodi sono schematici e prevedibili; si capisce fin da subito che la maggior parte di personaggi a breve uscirà di scena senza possibilità di scampo. C'è solo un'eccezione, che poi coincide proprio con l'unico colpo di scena. Comunque qualche dialogo ben strutturato e una visione piuttosto leggera permettono di salvare abbastanza il film.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely fantastic horror film. The psychological aspect of it is genius. This film keeps you on the edge of your seat and, dare I say…wanting more? It appeals to the crowd who loves such television shows as "Big Brother" as well as to the gore/slasher fanatic. Funhouse marries the two with perfection. The acting may seem sub-par for the first 10-minutes of the show, but if you can stick it out..you will most definitely be rewarded.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Despite some relatively interesting kills this is an incredibly dull film.
