<I>The Task</i> is not original in terms of concept, but, for a 2011 film, pulls a few things off well.
The reality TV show premise works as it takes place in an abandoned prison complex where a number of contestants are trying to win a monetary prize. Immediately after the film began, I felt both <I><A HREF="https://boxd.it/1TZE">House on Haunted Hill</A></i> and <I><A HREF="https://boxd.it/1XjM">See No Evil</A></i> vibes all around, but I was surely mistaken. Cameras are present in most areas for filming, but the lack of full character development (they all had different personalities and traits per their audition tapes, but not used to any advantage in the film) and the plot leaves little to be excited for. However, the ending wasn't expected as it comes with a few surprising twists, but they were not able to wiggle itself out of a one-star rating.
