I saw this with no expectations. The beginning was fairly interesting. The idea was great to start with, but it just kept getting worse and worse as the movie continued to go. It was very exaggerated and I found it entertaining,... Full review

Went in to this thinking that it couldn't be that bad, but I was a little wrong. I don't like Edward Furlong as an actor any longer. He was great in Terminator 2 and Pecker, but he looks run down and... Full review

Cruel World has taken years to release, with about a dozen supposed release dates and practically zero updates on when the movie was going to release. I was excited for the film, but because of the lack of updates - I... Full review

I gave this movie a 1 out of 10, only because 0 is not an option. First up, it's an attempt to cash in on the popularity of reality television. Just like Series 7: The Contenders - which is brilliant, or... Full review

This movie was thrown together without any attention to story line. It was a sorry excuse for cinema with no surprises and no excuse to be made in the first place. The slashing and thrashing scenes were dreadfully predictable and this... Full review

I found that this movie had a very original storyline. A little bit of 'Real World' mixed with 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'. This was an Indie movie at best. It seemed more surreal when it came to the... Full review

I saw this at Screamfest where it was playing as the opening night movie. Having not heard anything about it before, I was surprised by how cool it was. Totally unpredictable from start to finish. The crowd went crazy from laughing,... Full review

I'm one of those people who try very hard to see the good in everything, even movies, and this film "Cruel World" deserves far more credit than it seems to get, as it is actually rather good. Part of the reason... Full review
Critics Reviews
Reel.com
Three writers are credited with the screenplay of the lame Cruel World .....there might be some rooting interest would go a long way toward creating a nifty thriller.....nothing in this maddening movie is developed, not even the reality show conceit.....There is simply nothing to it outside of an attractive cast of vapid young people and the ugliness of gratuitous-and not entirely competent or credible-violence..... ...

Three writers are credited with the screenplay of the lame Cruel World.
The most frustrating aspect is that this could have been more.
Given how anorexic the story is, that seems excessive.
