Reality Check (2002)
One of the more entertaining reality-TV type horror movies
17 August 2011
In Reality Kills, a diverse bunch of teens are invited to country house/mansion to spend some time together while it's all filmed for a reality show. For once, this diverse cast is for the most part quite entertaining. You have a pretty half Asian bisexual girl, a pretty half Latino hippy girl, a very politically incorrect redneck radio host, the gorgeous Natalia Cigliuti playing an ambitious wanna be starlet, an innocent virgin, and some less interesting characters- least of all, the director behind the program, one "Sticky Fingers" trying to do his best at pretending to act.

The radio host gets the best and funniest lines as he provokes everyone with his lack of politically correct sensibilities. Another fun aspect is the sexual tension between the bisexual girl and the virgin. Meanwhile, Natalia tries to sleep her way to the top. But as the kids try get along and not to get along, a killer is on the loose zapping his victims and then killing them. That forces them all to act like stupid victims doing stupid things. The killer wears a mask and has a tiny camera on the forehead so all the deaths are recorded.

The identity of the killer comes as somewhat of a surprise, although a likely surprise. But it's the interaction of the kids that keeps the movie interesting at first, before they become victims and have no more time for fun. There's a bit of gore, a bit of nudity, little violence but a very attractive cast.
