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.

Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com A punishing social media satire. Rated: 0/4 May 28, 2021 Full Review Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times The film would have benefited from a compelling villain rather than its peevish, sneering dude dropping wan witticisms... May 28, 2021 Full Review Chuck Bowen 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 May 25, 2021 Full Review Jessica Scott Nightmarish Conjurings 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. Dec 22, 2022 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound Occasionally even bad films feature great ideas. Rated: 2/5 Nov 7, 2021 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Even die-hard horror fans will be disgusted by the abyss of stupidity and awful filmmaking in Funhouse. There are trash dumps and toilets that have more redeeming qualities than Funhouse. Jun 13, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Ricardo d 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Jessica S So bad it's perfect! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Rachel R A harsh look at social media influences in the modern age, Funhouse is a brutal and interesting film with plenty of twists and turns Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Andrea C 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 12/18/23 Full Review Natalie E 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 11/08/23 Full Review Matt S Despite some relatively interesting kills this is an incredibly dull film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
