I love the concept, and, have watched every version available online. It's a fun gameshow. That's why, i wonder, does the US version leep screwing it up?the best part is watching real people get to know each other in a beautiful scottish castle and interact and eventually start suspecting each other. The paranoia runs rampant (much to what appears to be alan cumming's amusement - he is the best part of the show} in the US version, they insist on putting a bunch of unknown, boring f-list celebrities in the game instead.the entitlement is tooth-gratingly terrible and it detracts so much from what i see as the best part of the show. Plus, they seem to KNOW they're unkown to most of the audience, so they have to constantly plug who they are and what show they're on. Thank goodness the UK and aussie versions still have some class.

I get that artistic folks with creative-type jobs are often a little eccentric. It goes with the territory. There have been quite a few that highlight the eccentricity of the participants, but none more than this one. There's a LOT of reaction shots from the contestants while each one is being critiqued by the judges (a great deal of head-shaking usually) . I guess this serves to show how competitive they are with each other, but it's an obvious trick and gets old very fast. Also, they put all the contestants on a big couch and let them pick and snipe at each other like school kids THAT part is just tiring. I hope they're nicer to each other in real life. Overall, an entertaining show, if maybe a little heavy-handed on editing. I really leaned on the fast-forward with this show.

Don't know why, but it made a kind of a boring movie somewhat more interesting. What's a bear? I larger, somewhat hairy, bearded man. By the time it hit the 30 minute mark, there have already been 5 on screen. Otherwise, this is a story about a couple of distant sisters at halloween and a mute figure in an orange suit wearing a jester mask. He seems to have some magical powers and not everybody can see him. It would be natural to make the comparison to the "terrifier" franchise, and there are some similarities, but not enough for me to dismiss the whole thing as a ripoff. Then again, "terrifier" didn't have any bears in it that i can remember.
