Cruel World (2005)

- written September 28th, 2010

Summary: Reeling from his dismissal from a reality show, a deranged runner-up holds a group of co-eds hostage on the set of his own fictitious show, where losers suffer a deadly fate           Overall: I’ve never been a big Edward Furlong fan, sorry Edward, so I wasn’t a fan of the film the moment it started. I found the film’s plot to be really silly especially given it’s a “reality show” (at least to the contestants) with only 2 people actually doing the work. The cast should have known something was wrong from the moment they showed up. As the “show” continues even though folks disappear I really had issues believing all these people would have stayed given their lack of any folks being in visible charge of the surroundings. Here just wasn’t anything believable with the film. And frankly once we have the opening snippet, with how our killer ends up with the house, we just simply move on as if the beginning never happened and it didn’t even matter, which again seemed like a useless plot vein that truly wasn’t needed in the first place. Silly…and sad. Skip it.           Comparison: Big Brother meets Killer Movie
