The idea of a reality/game show pitting contestants against serial killers doesn't seem too far of a stretch given the current state of what your average citizen accepts for televised entertainment today. I feel like if this movie was done better, perhaps in Japan by Japanese people and called BATTLE ROYAL 3, it would probably be way more entertaining than this. Unfortunately, although set up as a Japanese game show, this was filmed in Canada and the whole thing is just way too cheaply done and poorly acted to take very seriously in any way. If the objective is to to convey some sort of a social message maybe making your movie seem less like a joke would be a good way of doing that. I feel like there is potential to remake this with real actors and create something pretty cool. Of course if you're gonna do that you might as well just remake THE RUNNING MAN and make way more money. I wouldn't actually recommend this or call it very good but it was at least engaging enough that I wanted to see how it all ended up.
