Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Obviously you can pretty much tell from the start that this will be awful. The biggest problem I had with the execution of the idea was the way in which the story was presented. The idea seemed OK in theory, but the overall end result missed that idea.I think this would have worked better if they had incorporated less of the Reality TV Style scenes and shots, and instead either gone with a documentary or straight up fly on the wall type treatment. With the TV shots added, it came off like a spoof or at the very least confused about how much comedy to incorporate.The acting, at times was laughably terrible from this group of relatively unknowns at the time due to character writing that seemed disjointed and awkward. The pacing seemed to actually be the one big bright spot of the bunch, though the "kills" left a lot to be desired by today's standards. A lot of the time it felt like there was a lack of a payoff, or anticlimactic ending to the buildups that the director was working for.Overall I wouldn't recommend this. I got it for a dollar and I still feel like I got ripped off but that's more because of the time I invested watching Reality Kills. Skip this one unless you're into movies that are of the "So Bad they're Good" variety and even then you'll still probably end up disappointed.

Saw this movie last night on Youtube. And as you probably presumed, this is indeed one of those low on spooks, a bit high on nudity and a lot on stupidity flicks!.The premise looked interesting initially with seven contestants vying to be the winner of a Big Boss like reality show, but here there's even the director & his camera crew intruding to get exclusive clips for the TV audience! From there, it goes all downhill with negligible focus on the plot and more of a nutty killer on the loose who ticks off the contestants & the crew one by one and takes a video of it too. Even so, I liked some of the murders that happen which were shot in a suspenseful, "Scream" style fashion. But the final moments messed all the nicely done horror or whatever before it. The killer really behaved dumb as in D U M B! And an end which left me muttering, "What the....!".But the performances were a surprise with a lot of them showing an earnest effort. Courtney Peldon(as one of the contestants Charlotte), Sticky Fingaz(has lots of potential, was bit disappointing to see in this muck) as Brock the director and Kristen Miller(a surprise package, with impressive expressions) as one of the crew are some of those that stood out.Verdict: Alas, B acting + C story = still a C or a D movie :>

It's supposed to be one of those slasher movies I favor - but it's not. I was deeply disappointed with this film. It's as if you take a few girls and guys from a Big Brother camp and put them in a lodge out in the woods, miles from any civilization. They're supposed to stay there for six months and winner gets a hundred thousand dollars - but soon it becomes apparent that one of them doesn't want anybody to survive and get the money. Then the killing starts - members of the crew and the candidates perish one by one. The killings are far from gruesome (the victims are stunned by what looks like electrical shocks and then killed by getting a lethal injection), there is lots of foul language, a few sick jokes, a badly done sex scene, lots of screams and virtually no suspense. I forced to keep my eyes open just to watch it to the end, but it wasn't worth my time. If you consider to watch this movie, well, I'd advise you to rather watch a couple of hours Big Brother instead. That's as dull as "Reality Check", but at least with BB you know you can't expect anything and therefore won't be disappointed - and you won't waste any money. Jasper P. Morgan

Four young women Serendipity, Mei-Ling, Charlolette and Isabel, and three young men Gar, Swope and Crash, totally strangers to each other, are sent to an isolated house with the crew members of a reality show leaded by the Afro-American Brock to stay living together for three months without any means of communication with the exterior, and in the end, the winner will get a prize of US$ 100,000.00. When the SM cameraman Eugene is found dead in a barn, the group becomes hysterical, since nobody knows who is trustful. "Reality Check" is a bad movie in all aspects. The characters are not well developed and their behaviors are completely illogical. When the serial killer is disclosed, there is no explanation of the motives for such behavior other than being a deranged person. The performances are hysterical and boring. The edition is horrible and the image is too much dark, needing the change of the bright of the TV. The story has no originality, and it is another one about a sort of "Big Brother" show. Watching this movie is indeed a pure waste of time. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "O Jogo das Sete Mortes" ("The Game of the Seven Deaths")
