Premise:
A reality show puts contestants from around the globe in a remote Siberian forest in a battle to see who can last the longest. Soon weird things begin occurring and contestants start mysteriously disapperaing or dying which leads to the discovery that those remaining might be trapped and the game is no longer being played.
My Take:
A slick concept as the show is filmed as a reality contest show. The first couple of episodes rely more on the characters battling each other for a shot at the prize money at this old trading post where a mysterious disappearance happen in 1908. Then things start getting stranger by the minute and build up one by one. There are a lot more questions than answers and hopefully another season to come. Very intriguing series that demands your attention.
Favorite Episode:
"Lyin' and Tiger and Bare" - Episode three heats up with the contestants at each other's throat and then a tiger shows up to begin a series on unexplained occurences.

Proud to admit that I am a horror junkie. However, my definition of what falls under the realm of horror entertainment is fairly wide. Horror is an emotion experienced differently by individuals. These are short reviews of the movies, television series, novels, comics, albums, and any thing else which crosses my path if I feel like falls into the wide world of horror entertainment.
