A new, colorful trailer has recently dropped for the upcoming satirical horror-thriller The Funhouse, which takes a shot at vacuous reality shows. Check it out at the top of the article!
Here's the official synopsis:
Down and out backup singer and celebrity ex-husband Kasper (Valter Skarsgård, “The Sandhamn Murders”) is invited to compete in the Funhouse, an online ‘Big Brother’ style reality show. In an attempt to rebrand his image due to a tarnished reputation, Kasper reluctantly accepts the offer. Alongside seven other C-list celebrities from around the globe, he will compete for a 5 million dollar prize. At first, the Funhouse is just as the name suggests, full of wild times, budding friendships, love connections, and brewing rivalries. But, to everyone’s surprise, the fun quickly turns into misery when the first challenge leaves one of the contestants brutally murdered.
Meanwhile, The Funhouse – directed by Jason William Lee and starring Gigi Saul Guerrero, Khamisa Wilsher, Christopher Gerard, Karolina Benefield – is available right now (WATCH IT HERE!)
I don't know, are reality shows still even a thing? I mean, of course they are, but as a sort of cultural cornerstone? And, like, yeah internet streaming culture is worthy of satire, but this seems kind of shallow. But it also looks fun for what it is, and maybe that's enough. What do I know?
So what do you guys think? Fans of reality shows? If so, gonna cfheck this one out? Either way, sound off below!
