Talk about perfect timing. Series 7 is a fantastically funny satire on the world of reality TV. Shot in a sort of television format, Series 7 is a game show in which contestants must kill each other to remain eligible for the ultimate prize. That's right! The winner is the last man or woman standing.

With exception of a rather lame flashback
sequence in which two contestants share a love for the gothic mentality, this film is brimming with energy, a break neck pace, and natural flowing dialogue. It's also quite violent and will no doubt come under fire when it opens. That's too bad, because it's a truly funny movie.

Series 7 isn't for everyone, but I enjoyed the hell out of it.
