A slightly different layout on the Lifetime female in jeopardy movie, but it has the basics, a Lifetime Psycho (LP) and a Lifetime Heroine (LH). It's also got a high body count, which earns it extra Lifetime movie review points. Even though there were numerous female cast members that did not like each other, there were no epic chick fights, and the LP was a male, so it lost potential points there.The LH here is reality show producer Hayley. She's offered a job on a reality show (a ripoff of The Bachelor) that is set in Mexico due to the last producer leaving. We know she didn't leave, as within the first minute she was grabbed, presumably by the LP.The LH arrives and meets the requisite guy perpetually in need of a shave (GPNS). They hit it off and kiss. Turns out the is the bachelor for her show. We meet the remaining female contestants as well as several crew members.It wasn't until about 40 minutes in when the next female in jeopardy, the everything is bigger in Texas contestant, was ganked (body count: 1)that I figured it out. The LP was a sizable dude, and clearly had a lot of upper body strength. Everyone on the crew was fairly small except one dude, Matt. Even the GPNS was relatively skinny.The LH prevents a couple of deaths on set by catching things the LP had sabotaged.The original producer is found dead in her car. Body count: 2. The police are investigating, The show goes on.After the murders are disclosed, one of the girls wants to leave, so she gets int the SUV and stupidly stops right where the LP is hiding. As the driver lets her out, he is ganked by the LP, body count: 3. The girl is next, body count: 4.As with most Lifetime movies, things come to a head in the final 15 minutes. The LH has been busted by the cops and is being taken to jail. An abandoned vehicle is in the road, and the detective transporting her stops to investigate. He's quickly ganked by the LP. Body count: 5. The LH, who has been handcuffed, puts up a fight, but the LP uses a convenient rock to knock her out.She comes to in the LP's hideout and is still handcuffed and her ankles are tied together. Unlike the GPNS, The LP was apparently never in the Navy and didn't know how to tie a proper knot. After some plot revelation, the ropes around the LH's ankles conveniently fall off. She makes her move and escapes, with the LP in hot pursuit. At this point, in most Lifetime movies the LH runs into the woods, trips, and then engages in a fight with the LP, using a convenient tree limb or rock to knock them out. Since there are no woods, she finds a convenient piece of driftwood on the way to the beach, and uses it against the LP with little effect. As the LP is about to gank her with his machete, the GPNS throws his knife into the LP's back and ganks him. Body count: 6.The happy ending is of course the LH with the GPNS.Real movie score: 3/10 (higher is better). Lifetime movie score: 7/10 (higher is stupider).

In a "teaser" opening, we see a red-hooded perpetrator attack a sexy blonde in her car. After the credits, we're in Los Angeles to meet our "Lifetime" TV Movie heroine. She's beautifully brown-skinned model-type Annie Ilonzeh (as Hayley Vance). A reality show producer, Ms. Ilonzeh is assigned to work on a "Bachelor"-type series entitled "Love Ever After" – being shot in picturesque Mexico. After receiving a startling welcome, Ilonzeh goes out for a drink and meets muscular model-type handsome Parker Young (as Ross Freeman). They lock their model-type faces together and save the other parts for later. As you might have guessed, Mr. Young turns out to be the handsome shirt-shedding star of Ilonzeh's reality show. As if that wasn't enough of a problem, Young's beautiful bachelorettes begin to get killed. The emphasis is on comedy, then suspense; neither mixes very well, but the cast looks beautiful.**** Killer Reality (8/31/13) Jeff Fisher ~ Annie Ilonzeh, Parker Young, Lola Glaudini, Brandon Jones

This movie cracked me up. Kind of unusual for a this type movie because it seemed to have more of a sense of humor and awareness of the genre it was spoofing. That said, there were some legitimately creepy moments.The movie felt fresh. It's an interesting commentary on what goes on behind the scenes of a dating reality show, but managed not to be preachy.I found myself routing for the character of Hayley. And I thought it raised interesting questions on the moral lines that get blurred making one of these reality shows--and how real they really are.And every time one of the potential dates was on screen, I found myself laughing. The woman who plays Samantha was a riot.The characters actually made some smart choices.Overall, I was really impressed with the cast and pacing. Worth a watch.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Although it was billed as a thriller, it was actually really funny too. There was great chemistry between the actors and there were some laugh- out-loud lines and interactions. I've seen it a couple of times now and have to say it's worth watching!I actually watched it twice and enjoyed it both times.The performances by the actresses who played Haley, Barbara (and all of the Bachelorettes) really stood out--but thought all of the actors were good.I am surprised by the previous post. That person must have been watching a different movie or just didn't get that parts were supposed to be funny.
