Notice how these 5-star reviews are from reviewers who have reviewed nothing else. They are clearly involved with the film production and are just marketing their crap low-budget movie. It is a regular occurence here with these college-level movies. A film like this would NEVER be given 5 stars no matter how lenient the critical eye. It's low budget garbage with a good dose of T & A thrown in for sales. Wake up people!!! You have been warned!!!

Firstly, there seems to be a reviewing controversy. I have reviewed many other horror movies, especially B/C/D rate horror movies. That said, Reality Kills isn't the best horror movie I've ever seen, but it's certainly not the worst (That would be a tie between Zombie Nation and Date Movie).

Reality Kills is a send up of reality television, most notably MTV's Real Life. Seven strangers with very distinct personalities are forced to live together in a remote house. The characters in the movie are exaggerations of the `types' that usually end up on Real Life - The Good Girl who may not be so good, the misunderstood African American male, a character based on Puck from Real Life 4 (this alone is worth buying the movie), the bi-sexual girl, the Goth.... Etc. After a set-up of everyone's personalities the murders begin. The deaths aren't the most spectacular in any small time horror movie, so go into the film with that in mind.

Who the killer is comes as a surprise, and the plot flows along well. I think if you go into the movie with the idea it's not the most brilliant horror cinema, but it is a brilliant send up of MTV's Real World with an I Know What You Did Last Summer/Scream feel, then you shouldn't be disappointed.

Recommended for people in the mood for a fun, easy B grade horror movie.

Dont believe the "5 Star" reviews below. They were obviously written by people who are marketing this total piece of garbage. Completely unoriginal low budget disaster that "borrows" from Scream, Friday the 13th and others. Not only that, but they already did a Haloween sequel that had the exact same premise (Real World-like reality show where everyone gets killed). Terrible acting, cheesy video technique, no chemistry among the actors and the typical stereotypes, i.e. bimbo, goth kid and tough black guy. Do not waste your time with this trash.

50 miles away from any type of civilization, this horror movie pits all seven, reality show members against one another in a chilling, farm atmosphere. Competing for an ultimate prize of $100,000, "Reality Kills" showcases and exploits the reality tv phenomenon. Taking a unique twist, when one of the crew members is found dead in the barn no one can tell if it is a practical joke or if they should fear for their lives. With everyone a suspect, no one is safe. Is this murder just a production stunt to increase ratings or are the contestants in real danger? Combining the best of horror and reality tv, "Reality Kills" brings suspense to the next level where beating the competition takes on a new meaning.

hey everyone has to check out this new movie Reality Kills, my friend let me see it and i haven't been able to get it out of my head. The suspense always kills me! Based on a reality show where people start dying you never know what to expect. Of course they are on a remote farm with no contact like Big Brother, and after several cast and crew members start turnign up dead, they are forced to use instictive survival skills to not win the prize but just to survive. With the cast not knowing if these "murders" are even reality or just another production ploy, the movie is unlike any other.

Usually I don't like horror films but when I got to see this movie i really liked how it played off of the reality tv phenomenon. I loved the fact that no one could figure out if it was just a production stunt to get ratings or if they were in real danger. This movie had great suspense and leaves the audience always guessing what will happen next. Everyone has to get a copy of this, its one of those under-rated, dvd release only films, I even bought two copies, one for me and one for my friend, check it out!

This flick doesn't take itself seriously which is why I enjoyed it so much. Great one liners, T&A, and overacting "reality" at it's finest. Not so much a horror flick for me, but more horribly entertaining. Don't sleep on this one folks. It's definitely worth a rental.

Sex, Drugs, TV and Murder; what more does the teen audience need or want? "Reality Kills" is directed by Rafael Zelinsky; the same director that has created "Screwballs," "Poltergiest: The Legacy," Hangman's Curse," and "National Lampoon's Last Resort." The movie stars Courtney Peldon, Nate Dushku (the brother of actress Eliza Dushku), Natalie Cigliuti, Julie Ann Emery, Timonthy Lee DePriest, Kristen Miller, Khalil Kain, and Sticky Fingaz. The movie is a different approach from your typical horror movies since it is reality television based and not doesn't involve alot of gruesome killings. It is about 7 people of different backgrounds and life styles coming together to live in a house 50 miles away from civilization as a part of a reality show with a $100,000 grand prize to whomever can last the longest. The movie is a different approach from your typical horror movies since it is reality television based and not doesn't involve alot of gruesome killings. They have no communication with the outside world, making this story both a blend of "Big Brother" and "The Real World" with suspense/horror. Each character of the movie brings its own uniqueness and style. The stars of "Reality Kills" are being pressured from the camera people to bring more excitement and activity into their lives to get audiences hooked to want to watch their television show, so when the cast finds the dead body of one of their camera men, they start to believe that its either part of the show to get them to freak out and get the ratings they so desperately want, or if someone is trying to eliminate the cast one by one to reach the grand prize, which in turn starts getting the cast to turn on one around and not trust what the other has to stay.

The movie "Reality Kills," directed by Rafael Zelinsky, takes a different approach to your typical horror movies out there. It is a blend of both the reality show "Big Brother" and a suspenseful movie. The movie is based on a reality television show that places seven strangers from different life styles to live together in a secluded farm house that is 50 miles away from civilization, cutting their communication with the outside world, with a grand prize of $100,000 to the winner of the show. The setting has an urban legend surrounding it, which half the cast is doubtful to believe or want to believe in, but when the bodies of one of their camera men is found in the shed, it makes the cast question everything that is taking place and to not trust the people around them. The producers of the show had been pressuring the cast to bring more excitement into the show to bring in the a high audience and rating, which makes the cast wonder if everything taking place is all an hoax or actual reality.

Directed by Rafael Zelinsky, who also directed "Poltergeist," and "National Lampoon's Last Resort," pulls together the reality tv craze and puts seven strangers on a remote farm with no human contact. All competing on a reality show for $100,000, everyone becomes a suspect when a camera man is found mutilated in the barn. Is it possible that one of these competitors would go so far as to kill someone? Check out this movie, it was a great twist at the end and will leave you at the edge of your seat.
