Could've been better

Rating: 5/10 (4 April 2014)

I came in expecting to see a horror movie, but it turned out pretty quickly that that's not what this movie is at all.
The whole premise of the kids being watched and killed off for entertainment was interesting and mildly funny, but somewhere along the way, it just turned to a big dump. Imo, it doesn't work as a satire, it's not subtle or smart, even though it tries hard to be. As a comedy, it doesn't really work either, because it's simply not funny.
What irks me the most about this movie is the way everything is spoon-fed to you. All attempts at satire are practically shoved in your face. "Look at this! So ironic!" The worst part was the ending, had things gone differently after they broke into the control room, it might've been salvageable.
Everything was just really half-done and kind of shitty, despite some good ideas. Disappointed.
