i turn on the tv expect to see a silly little mtv comedy and kind of like an extended snl sketch . i do not plan on watch the whole thing and and i do not expect it to be more than mildly entertaining . i be shock to find that the producer have actually make a really taut and interesting and claustrophobic thriller . much more interesting than most of what you see in the theatre . the initial 20 minute introduce u to the seven member of the vancouver cast . it a dead on imitation of the real show . very believable and could have be funny . after this initial set up and the kid be soon kidnap and hold hostage by a rich and craze lunatic ( reject for the show each and every year ) who want to have a real world of his own . cheezy premise and yes . but what they do with it be really clever . he begin by kill the most boring housemate there only suppose to be seven stranger . and you have no personality . and force the others to go through the usual real world pace ( confessional and hot tub and truth or dare . i be rivet to the screen and ( except in the boring segment in between which feature former real world alumnus in a silly and annoy subplot ) . add in a healthy dose of sex and nudity ( blur out for tv ) and homoeroticism and violence and you have a cool escapist thriller . again and not at all what you would expect from a real world movie . the blair witch esque chase at the end be cool and the camerawork excellent and and the acting and the writing be not half as bad a what other commenters be say it be . they do a decent job . very surprised to see the negative review . american viewer do not often seem to like genre bend movie . i have hear complaint that the movie couldn not figure out whether or not it be a comedy and or a horror movie or a thriller or soap opera . well and it be all of them . ( although primarily a thriller ) . end be a tiny bit of a copout and but i still enjoy it nonetheless . very good work and mtv . very impressed .
