Philip lures in these unsuspecting students to a new reality show where unbeknownst to them they truly are fighting to survive. If you lose you lose permanently. Will these contestants catch on before it's too late? Tune in and find out!
It was at points uninteresting. I didn't really care for any of the characters. I actually felt more sorry for Philip. Lol 🤣😬🤷♀️ It's one of those films where the cast is just meh. Considering the time frame, I guess it works. For me, I wasn't as invested in their stories. 😬 The setting was pretty bland to me. I feel the intention behind this film was meant to look like a reality show. I'm not a fan of reality tv. So there's that. lol
Overall, interesting spin on reality TV though.
7/10
