Cruel World2006
“When You Get Voted Off This Reality Show... It's For Good!”
Directed by Kelsey T. Howard
The premise
Following his dismissal from a television reality show, a deranged young man lures a group of beautiful coeds to his abode by telling them they will be the stars of a new show he is creating. What the women do not know is that when they lose their slot on the show, they lose their lives as well.
Horror Vault's take
After being humiliated and cut from a reality competition, a deeply unstable young man devises a twisted scheme to reclaim his sense of power — by staging his own private show with a cast of unsuspecting women. The contestants believe they're auditioning for stardom, but the elimination rounds here are lethally final. Part satirical jab at reality TV culture, part slasher, Cruel World mines the gap between fame-hungry ambition and predatory obsession. The result is a darkly comic and mean-spirited thriller that plays on the voyeuristic nature of the genre itself.
