Reality Check

But that's the most I can say: "Not horribly done." Standard premise, pick them off one by one slasher within a reality show of annoying young adults. Very little blood. Mediocre acting but that may also be a product of the low budget and lack of script. Not a total wreck, but not very good either.

Four young women – Serendipity, Mei-Ling, Charlolette and Isabel, and three young men – Gar, Swope and Crash, totally strangers to each other, are sent to an isolated house with the crew members of a reality show leaded by the Afro-American Brock to stay living together for three months without any means of communication with the exterior, and in the end, the winner will get a prize of US$ 100,000.00. When the SM cameraman Eugene is found dead in a barn, the group becomes hysterical, since nobody knows who is trustful. "Reality Check" is a bad movie in all aspects. The characters are not well developed and their behaviors are completely illogical. When the serial killer is disclosed, there is no explanation of the motives for such behavior other than being a deranged person. The performances are hysterical and boring. The edition is horrible and the image is too much dark, needing the change of the bright of the TV. The story has no originality, and it is another one about a sort of "Big Brother" show. Watching this movie is indeed a pure waste of time. My vote is three.

I write a lot of reviews on films and, normally, try to find something positive to say about a movie. No matter how bad it is, there's at least a couple of good points. In fact, I hate people who say things like 'Worst movie ever!!!!' (note the annoyingly large amount of exclamations marks).

Well, this definitely isn't the worst movie ever (in my opinion 'Seed' takes that particular accolade), but it is at least definitely in the bottom of the barrel.

My hopes weren't high from the beginning. I think Hollywood should be forced to stamp a great big warning sign on any film which is actually 'found footage.' This emerging genre is certainly cheap to produce. Minimal actors and special effects are required and I daresay the editing doesn't take too long either.

Reality Kills is, sadly, one of these 'found footage films. It's constructed like a documentary about people who were murdered in a house... or something. In fact, as soon as I realised it was found footage, I kind of lost interest. This review is only based on the first hour. I couldn't take any more. Cliché after cliché reared its ugly head. From the couple killed while having sex, to the shaky camera-work and killers who run in and run out of frame so quickly, you can barely tell what it was.

This isn't the worst movie ever made, but there are plenty of these types of horror films out there and they, at best, only become average - the kind of movie you watch to kill time and forget about afterwards. Sadly, this one isn't even that good. It's just one you need to avoid. Even if you're a massive fan of found footage films, this one doesn't make the grade.

It's supposed to be one of those slasher movies I favor - but it's not. I was deeply disappointed with this film. It's as if you take a few girls and guys from a Big Brother camp and put them in a lodge out in the woods, miles from any civilization. They're supposed to stay there for six months and winner gets a hundred thousand dollars - but soon it becomes apparent that one of them doesn't want anybody to survive and get the money. Then the killing starts - members of the crew and the candidates perish one by one. The killings are far from gruesome (the victims are stunned by what looks like electrical shocks and then killed by getting a lethal injection), there is lots of foul language, a few sick jokes, a badly done sex scene, lots of screams and virtually no suspense. I forced to keep my eyes open just to watch it to the end, but it wasn't worth my time. If you consider to watch this movie, well, I'd advise you to rather watch a couple of hours Big Brother instead. That's as dull as "Reality Check", but at least with BB you know you can't expect anything and therefore won't be disappointed - and you won't waste any money. Jasper P. Morgan
