A gritty, disturbing and very funny satire that points the finger as much at its audience as those who make 'reality TV.'

Ends up straddling an uneasy divide between genuinely edgy artistry and bluntly indulgent bluster, leaving us uncertain whether it's the television show portrayed or the film itself that's the real turn-off.

A sporadically amusing but overambitious first feature that would have worked better as a short. Still, it provides a respite from blockbuster fare and a much-needed poke in the eye for reality TV junkies.

Audience Reviews for Series 7: The Contenders
-
Jun 26, 2013"Series 7: The Contenders" has all the visual resemblance of the reality television shows it's poking fun at, but its concept is essentially a one trick pony. Nothing about "The Contenders" or why it exists is ever elaborated on and the satire isn't as dark or hard-hitting as it should be. As far as I can tell, the acting is exceptional considering the cast is full of unknowns, but the film as a whole feels like a wasted opportunity.Stephen E Super Reviewer

Jan 30, 2012I think one of the things that this film can boast is its realism. It was well-acted so my question is: Where the heck does these actors went now? It felt very real, it is not lacking in dark humor . . . and just, good.August S Super Reviewer

Jan 23, 2012Nearly a masterpiece, it's so wickedly funny I just can't help myself but laugh all the way through. It's low budget yet surprisingly fresh and original. The characters were interestingly enough to keep me going, the acting was great too, very realistic. I really enjoy the tv show-like editing and narration.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Apr 03, 2008Decent Canadian film about a television show whose goal is for the contenders to kill off one another. Unfortunately it becomes too comedic by the end, but all in all it's a decent watch.Christopher B Super Reviewer
