Are You Scared

It's very obvious that this movie was trying to cash in on the popularity of Saw without really bothering to take into consideration why Saw was popular. Obvious enough that it's barely worth noting. I've barely noted it, so let's move on.
Are You Scared is about six people trapped in a warehouse where they're forced to play "games" that are just excuses for violence and death, as dictated by a mysterious unseen figure who watches all the goings on via video cameras.
The twist is that this is all for a completely illegal reality television show (the police are investigating the kidnapper / games master). I guess the movie is supposed to be a scathing comment on television culture (albeit a halfassed one).
Wait a minute ...
It's a television show.
The six people in the warehouse all talk like they've seen the show before and know exactly what it is (even though they act surprised when the games begin), and we're all shown their audition tapes. Meaning, yes, this really is a television show.
Who the hell greenlit this show?!
It should be relatively easy to find the killer since he obviously has contact and contracts with a network of some sort. Find the network heads, find your killer.
Also, why would people audition for this show (which it's mentioned has been going on for two years)? Yeah, I guess the people who tried out for season one, having no clue what the show's about, they have an excuse. But anybody after that should know full well that this is a show where people are basically forced to torture themselves to death. There would never be a season two because everybody would know better.
The movie, of course, skips over all of that. They mention several times that it's a TV show, but carefully avoids all of the logistics, thus making an incredibly frustrating movie.
It's not even Fridge Logic because these questions spring to mind immediately; you don't have to be standing with the refridgerator open to suddenly start pondering.

End of line.
