Pre-viewed for quality and played fine on my Panasonic vcr. Out Of Print (OOP) in all formats and no longer being produced. Cassette looks new, box has a few tiny endentations on the top & bottom edges.
Five young people have responded to ads and have been selected for a net-based endurance test:
They must stay together under constant observation in an old house in the middle of nowhere for six months, in order to collect a prize of one million dollars apiece, which is forfeit if any one of the subjects leaves. The house is dotted with web-cams that continually buzz and swivel to catch the action.
We come in towards the end of the six months as the obscure "company" seems to be turning the screws in order to get out of paying the prize. The boiler is sabotaged, food withheld, and "nasty" presents work on the players' nerves:
Danny receives a letter telling him his beloved grandfather has died, while Emma (Laura Regan, 'They') is taunted with the reminder of a childhood prank that may have homicidally unhinged a playmate. Tensions escalate within the group as advances and rejections pile up:
Charlie scores with passing backpacker Bradley Cooper, who claims that no one on the outside world has ever heard of this webcast. Apparent straight-arrow preppy Matt and argumentive punk Rex take wildly different approaches to coping with the situation, but each winds up reaching for a weapon.
Eventually, things get more extreme as the subjects realize that the appeal to voyeuristic subscribers is the promise of eruptions of murderous violence, either within the group or perpertrated by mostly-unseen manipulators.
