Five young people apply and win the contest to live in an isolated house for six months while there are numerous camera's filming them for an internet reality show. If everyone stays at the house they win 1 million dollars but if one leaves they lose.
Each person has a personal issue they have shared with others and their issues come to haunt them in the hopuse by a person who viewed the show.
They get a box from the company and one box has a bunch of bricks with an intimidating letter. Later, they get another box with a gun stored in it.
Also one of the women named Emma (Laura Regan) who has experienced a devastatiing past of someone yelling the words "You sick bitch!" to her she sees it scrawled on the bathroom window.
Emma also experienced a kid she went to school with who killed his family with a hammer and then finds a bloody hammer in her bed.
Not only that, a strange person enters their house and fornicates with one of the applicants.
One of the main applicants is found hung dead but some suspect that it wasn't a suicide. Is someone in the house trying to get them all?

A film that borrowed the same quality as the Blair Witch Project but nowhere near as good. However, this film was just as creative.
It is shocking and effective as well as mysterious and worth checking out.

The acting is very good as all the cast were naturals like it was real with their discussions to one another as well as their aggressions, emotions and fears.

There are 5 different pics of the applicants doing activities and one of them gets topless.
There is a nude shower scene as well as an erotic sex scene.

A person is decapitated and there are corpses.

The directing by Marc Evans is in good shape as he shows a nice opening with the computer and the cast playing the contestants introducing themselves giving the film a good push as well as showing 4 different pictures on the computer of the people living in the house.
Also he gives the film a terrific suspense when the people are experiencing something different in each room especially the crow trespassing inside the house with a green effect to it.
He also directed a really disturbing scene between Regan and Sky's characters together revealing a dark twisted secret.

The music composed by Bias but it's really just chilling sound effects and there's not alot involved.
