Usually I avoid reality shows as I find them fake, over edited and predictable. I'm so happy I gave this a chance. It felt like a refreshing take on the genre. The concept is to put "villains" from different reality shows into the same house and make them compete for a prize of $200,000.

From the beginning I expected that most of these people were probably willing to stirr up drama and manipulate their way to the top, they are villains after all. Strangely, I felt like this made the contestants seem more real. They don't get the chance to pretend they have nothing to hide and a lot of them seem to like the role of villain.

Most of the drama is light-hearted and the commentary from the host, the contestants and the production crew is pretty funny, at times hilarious.

Hoping there will be more seasons.

I think a lot of people that has a past with an abusive/toxic partner and/or stalker will strongly relate to this movie. The events in the story are fantastical but the emotions are very realistic. Elizabeth Moss does a great job in portraying a person who has lost their anchor in reality and it shows how hard it can be to truly escape an abusive relationship. I have watched this twice so far and look forward to seeing it again.

This movie makes me appreciate good movies. It feels superficial, not really giving the characters any depth. It was an okay watch though but Get Out is so much better if you are in the mood for something hypnotic and thrilling. The Hannibal series with Mads Mikkelsen is also a must watch when it comes to eccentric psychiatrists and hypnotherapy.
