Plot

edit

Stina, a solo mother trying to raise her daughter, is about to take a job as a stripper when she receives a call recruiting her to appear on a reality tv show. At the same time, Magnus, a former soldier, trying to parent his son following his divorce, is hired to act as a bodyguard for a famous actor auditioning for the same show. When the actor walks off, Magnus is offered the role. The contestants are told that the winner will receive a million dollars and the option to appear in a Hollywood horror film series. Stina, Magnus and the two other contestants Nico and Rodrigo are flown to a remote cabin location where they are told they will be hunted by a masked maniac as everything is filmed with cameras placed around the area.

Reception

edit

Sofia Sinema of Letterboxd gave the film 2 stars and she wrote: Catching up with the MCU slowly. The Metalface Cinematic Universe, that is. Love the solo dance teases and bared breasts, but an offscreen kill for your finest doll? And WTF happened to the ending? That was rather premature. Oh well...one man wrecking crew Rene Perez has already made about a dozen more features since this. There's bound to be some hits and misses when you're grinding at that pace. I'll be back for more pain. You can count on them apples. 4.1/10[5]
