Six teens find themselves trapped in an abandoned warehouse, the unwitting pawns in a new reality TV show. The objective? To find their way out after passing numerous physical challenges. The catch? The odds are insurmountable, the games are gruesome and deadly, and nobody ever wins. With obvious nods to such claustrophobic chillers as CUBE, HOUSE OF 9, MY LITTLE EYE, and the SAW films, ARE YOU SCARED seems to reflect a growing disquiet over Big Brother-type surveillance, while at the same time blurring the line between voyeurism and sadism ever further.

I fell asleep in the last 20 minutes of this and, when I woke up, couldn't be bothered to watch what I'd missed; it was that good. This film is a Saw-wannabe but it doesn't pull it off. Teens in a warehouse undergoing gory, bloody 'games' devised by someone whose voice is much like Jigsaw's but that's really where the similarity ends. Some games are scarier than others but overall it just doesn't hang together as a film. The bits between the games are pithy and the acting not strong enough to make us care. A detective and a Fed are trying to get to the warehouse to save the day but you care even less about them; characters and scripts so weak they're practically opaque. It's basically an excuse to explore various different methods of killing the characters. But just not in the least bit absorbing with it.
