Rating: R
Director: Marc Evans
Cast: Sean CW Johnson, Jennifer Sky, Kris Lemche, Stephen O'Reilly, Bradley Cooper, Nick Mennell, Laura Regan
A very understated horror flick that meets all the effective criteria and contains several unnerving moments. Five people are gathered together in a remote woodland house to take part in what they believe to be a webcast reality show, all they have to do is stay six months and then collect $1 million. However, when an unexpected stranger arrives and fails to recognize them as the Internet celebrities they think they must have become, doubt and paranoia starts to befall the group and they start to ask who is watching them and why? Director Mar Evans succeeds in creating a dark, ominous and claustrophobic atmosphere. The acting is acceptable not really any stand out performances, but it was interesting to see Bradley Cooper in an early role ( his second film ) as the stranger who happens upon the group. This film was very reminiscent of "Kolobos" (1999) in respect to a similar gathering of young adults who are allowing themselves to be subjected to isolation and scrutiny. I believe the second act of the film to be the most rewarding as terror and desperation rears it's ugly head. A must view for horror fans out there!
