Wonderful character development!

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Some of these reviews are way too harsh. I'm not sure what they expected, it's a low budget horror film, not Citizen Kane. But even though it doesn't have a big budget it is still a well-made film. They did the best with what they had. As for the comparisons to the SAW franchise, sure, I can see that. But all films in a certain genre usually borrow from other films in that genre. Some reviewers say the plot is not believable. Are you telling me that the plot of SAW is believable? There is some gratuitous nudity but when did that become a bad thing? I will have you look at some horror movies from the 80's and you will see an incredible amount of sex and nudity. I'm still not sure what some of these reviewers are complaining about. I'm sorry that the Cohen brothers don't make horror films, but until then we are going to have to make do with what we have. Go take a look at the original The Evil Dead. That was a very low budget film that had some questionable special effects and acting. But it's a cult classic. I'm not saying that Elimination will become a classic but I think everyone is looking at this film all wrong. The film is good for what it is; a small budget, somewhat campy horror film. It is the kind of film you can just sit back and enjoy for what it is.

I recommend listening to me and other reviewers here. This movie was a total waste of time. To be honest, some parts of it made me laugh (nudity scenes) They were completely unnecessary and funny because it was intentional. The girls were hot but you know the movie is a waste of time. It is very random and not scary at all. Just like what I said parts of it were funny. The effects were a joke! oh yes, and what grabbed my attention is the shitty acting of some of the characters, others did well but some like the burning girl and the bitchy girlfriend were a joke and I wont even put them on a youtube video. There isn't much to say anymore about this movie other than it was very cheap and dirty, the girls were losing their clothes more than blood haha and for some reason the contestants never attempted to kill the amazon woman. So in other words, no logic. No action. No suspense. No mystery.

The poster looked promising and since I'm a fan of a "trap" movie myself, I decided to watch this.As the movie starts, I already knew that the film itself will be at its poor quality. The lighting was too bright and the "audition" thing was a bad start up. The actors did the worst acting I've ever seen in a 'horror movie'. We feel no sympathy for any characters and the director tried to evoke the audience by showing some nudity in the intro.What's with the laser guns, actors who kill people (amazon girl and the fat clown), worthless CG for the traps, random girl trapped in this trap involving fire... All didn't work at all. It came to a point where I was curious of what the movie was actually about.What was with the amazon girl suddenly revealing herself as an average job seeker thirsty for money?...What audition did these guys expect ? What's with the old man randomly changing voice in the ending ?

I am someone who tends to be fairly critical of badly-made, low-budget horror movies. There are certainly enough clunkers out there. Yet, I did not think "Elimination" was all that bad. In fact, at times it was very entertaining.I was especially impressed the way director Vargas set up his shots. There were some very inventive visual elements. Then I checked his filmography and noticed his background in special effects. There is a definite sense of style and craft here.I think what many people might have a problem with is the brazenly gratuitous nudity A couple of female characters, before meeting their demise, have their clothes absurdly pulled off, exposing their breasts, for no other reason then...well....exposing their breasts. And yet, I thought that was hilarious self-parody in itself. It was just too brazen in a relatively competent screenplay to be anything but a commentary on the gratuitous nudity one often sees in b-grade slasher pics. It was so blatant it had almost an element of 'camp' to it. The only surprising thing is that the director did not have his actors having sex with one another. To be frank, they had no time for it.I found the film silly but occasionally fun, with a few pretty damn good performances, especially Meredith Grau as the evil Emily. The actors in this flick were uneven, but the good ones really shined.Far better than I thought, it certainly takes the Hostel/Saw template into a new arena.
