The five contestants are actress Leilah (Brooke Lewis Bellas), hitman Alex (David Alpay), senator Larkin (Susan Lanier), Father Bishop (Ricky Dean Logan) and businessman and philanthropist Ethan (Noah Blake), who all have their own secrets, which range from child molestation to serial rape to crucifiction to killing one's mistress to poisoning a city's water supply for profit, with adultery and blackmail and similar things only side orders to the main crimes. In other words, crimes you wouldn't admit to even when threatened. But that said, there's an evil twist to the show ...<p> <p>Done during the time of Covid lockdowns, this webseries really makes the most out of its limitations, building a piece of psychological horror entirely around people talking - but talking to save their lives, even if they're unaware that they're just painting themselves into corners. And besides almost hauntingly realistic performances, what really makes this movie is the well-conceived dialogue that makes even the wilest of characters in the film creepily relatable and provides the film's finale with real punch, and makes this film despite all its limitations really chilling genre entertainment.<p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2023"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
