It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Six teens, all qualifying for the title of 'America's Most Irritating', wake up in an old warehouse. They soon realise that they are on the set for a reality show called 'Are You Scared?' for which they had all sent audition tapes sometime ago. What they didn't know at the time is that the tasks in which they face their greatest fears on the show are no wins – if they don't participate they are eliminated, quite spectacularly by being blown up, and in doing the task they also won't win. A scarred freak watches over them all on his bank of TV sets, his agenda revealing itself to be more personal for one particular participant, as two standard inept cops close in on him.Chances are if the idea of a below average version of the silly franchise Saw gets you buzzing then this is the ideal evening's entertainment for you. For everyone else it is a passable watch that borders occasionally on irritating, making little sense with its retarded 'to get what you want in life you have to suffer' ethos.If people have to suffer for what they want to the extent that they end up dead, then how did the suffering actually get them to learn that message for any longer than it takes them to be blown up or drilled in the head? And at the end of the day it all seems to have been geared by the villain to get his daughter back for setting him on fire rather than anything else, making his agenda of suffering for what you want suck big time.The villain, referred to as Shadow Man in the credits, has obviously spent too much time watching the Saw franchise affecting spooky 'do you want to play a game' styled voice-overs and leaving a key inside a victim for them to cut out or die. What he forgot to do was do it well. Still there's a nicely done decapitation and a cheer-worthy body explosion that could have benefited from more guts, in both senses, but they both still hit the spot nicely.The camera moves around a lot and there is a nifty use of lighting to disguise the fact that the sets are really quite crap. Witness the after-titles sequence whereby armed police point their guns in various corners of the latest crime scene laughably exposing the limited set around them rather than provide anything else of use to the viewer.Marvel at how one minute the token black character starts off squealing and panicking about the bandaged wound he woke up with, suddenly start giggling and whooping for joy when he thinks he is on a reality TV show. Or is it a comment on today's Heat culture of non-achieving-celebrities? You decide. Despite each character being oblivious to the danger they are facing it doesn't distract from them watching their audition piece for the 'programme' even when they are being pursued or bleeding to death.Alethea Kutscher makes for a spunky lead and Brent Fidler makes for an imposing shape as 'Shadow Man' however even at a short seventy nine minutes, chances are you'll feel aged like you have just spent a day watching it. Do yourself a favour. Turn the disc off and watch something else instead.

I give this movie a 10 out of 10 best comedy of the year! This movie is funny, a laughable tale of trial and triumph against all odds. A tale of a movie that wants to be saw, yet fails horribly, with some intense character development such as that one guy did that one thing, and that other person died. The characters in this film are unforgettable, just thinking of the chemistry between that blond guy and that other person brings a tear to my eye right now. Also, the plot twists are unforgettable, such as that one person died, I never would have called that! All around, this a wonderful movie that deserves the academy award for the best picture ever in the history of all things. Go and watch this riveting movie, better than Citizen Kane.

I was wondering when some one would come out with a Saw knock off.Here it is, I guess. In the most basic ways, it attempts to mine the more popular movie, adding it's own twists to the story .I was very interested in the villain at first, but as the story played out, you realize he was just an ###, with no real motivation for all the people he kills in his "games", except for the last one ... and of course they throw in a "surprise" plot twist out of left field at the end.The set design was good, camera work was OK, and acting was ether over done, stereotypical, or wooden.Between ugly acting, boring - seen it before - deaths, and characters I really can't get behind, this movie leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Awful movie, it blew so bad acting was horrible. Actors were casted at the corner or Harlem, and the deaths were so stupid not even from a planet discovered yet. I could have made a better movie in my tree-house than this. Bottomline: I would rather wipe a dead Vietnamese mans crack thats been rotting in the ground for 2 months with my bare hand than watch or even recommend this movie.i give it a 0/10 stars fer sure. I can't believe this was even produced, not to mention the rip off of saw, my god where does this idiot think he can make this. If i was him id be embarrassed to look at myself in the mirror.
