It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Aubrey Hackett
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I personally love 'Survival' Genre movies where a group of People are in a situation which they don't understand and are coping somehow to survive.Movie Premise: A group of wannabe actors go for a mysterious audition for a TV reality show only to discover that they're fighting to survive - having to survive grueling challenges and each other!There is nothing original about this low budget flick. The theme is greatly borrowed/inspired from the SAW franchise with the ominous Jigsaw like character welcoming people along with bizarre ways of being killed.The film has your usual stereo-types: The mean bitch, the scared girl (think hapless victim), the jock, the hot girl, nice guy and a few random characters thrown in.They could have made the actors more diverse to broaden the appeal of the movie - like have African American, Asian (Japanese/Chinese), Indian, European (British, Scottish, French, German). But all and all, I found the movie quite entertaining - given its very simple premise and relatable characters.I don't know why the other reviewers have been so harsh on this movie. I've seen Big Budget Hollywood movies do far worse - to the extent of inducing acute boredom.6/10.

Some of these reviews are way too harsh. I'm not sure what they expected, it's a low budget horror film, not Citizen Kane. But even though it doesn't have a big budget it is still a well-made film. They did the best with what they had. As for the comparisons to the SAW franchise, sure, I can see that. But all films in a certain genre usually borrow from other films in that genre. Some reviewers say the plot is not believable. Are you telling me that the plot of SAW is believable? There is some gratuitous nudity but when did that become a bad thing? I will have you look at some horror movies from the 80's and you will see an incredible amount of sex and nudity. I'm still not sure what some of these reviewers are complaining about. I'm sorry that the Cohen brothers don't make horror films, but until then we are going to have to make do with what we have. Go take a look at the original The Evil Dead. That was a very low budget film that had some questionable special effects and acting. But it's a cult classic. I'm not saying that Elimination will become a classic but I think everyone is looking at this film all wrong. The film is good for what it is; a small budget, somewhat campy horror film. It is the kind of film you can just sit back and enjoy for what it is.

I recommend listening to me and other reviewers here. This movie was a total waste of time. To be honest, some parts of it made me laugh (nudity scenes) They were completely unnecessary and funny because it was intentional. The girls were hot but you know the movie is a waste of time. It is very random and not scary at all. Just like what I said parts of it were funny. The effects were a joke! oh yes, and what grabbed my attention is the shitty acting of some of the characters, others did well but some like the burning girl and the bitchy girlfriend were a joke and I wont even put them on a youtube video. There isn't much to say anymore about this movie other than it was very cheap and dirty, the girls were losing their clothes more than blood haha and for some reason the contestants never attempted to kill the amazon woman. So in other words, no logic. No action. No suspense. No mystery.

Well that is the title the movie got in Germany ... guess why? If you can't guess then I suppose you haven't seen one of the biggest movie franchises of the last few years. The funny fact there is, that you cannot even really compare those movies. Funny if you can laugh at bad horror, combined with bad acting and a really weak script. And that is putting it mildly.If you are into the nudity thing, there are other movies to enjoy then this. If you are into splatter, again other movies to prefer. Emotion almost reaches zero degrees (in a bad way). Movies like these give horror a bad rep. I hope the makers can get their "stuff" together and do a better job, if they get another opportunity.
