Back in 2008 - When the Torture Movies still rode high - VH1 had a brilliant idea. Well, they had a "brilliant" idea. Inserting to both the films "Saw" and Reality, such as "The next top model of America", the network produced "Scream Queens", a competitive show that collected 10 promising actresses and made them undergo a series of auditions and acting challenges, agreed in the tournament structure. The Grand Prix will be a small role in "Saw VI".

It may be surprising that this series was directed by the Jamesesheims Gun, who also served as one of the top referees of the show. The referee joined the Smith show, playing the role of Amanda Young in "Saw", "Saw II", "Saw III", "Saw VI" and "Saw X" This was at a time when Gun was better known for horror films such as "Slitter", and before becoming known for his sentimental films for superhero as "Gardaxi Guardians".

"Crick Queens" boasts a lot of time on a music video for time editing and a racky of sexism. You can find clips on the Internet, and the series feels less as an audition and more like a beauty singer in combination with an episode of "Fear of Fear". The actresses required everyone to bring strange torture scenarios, perform stunts, scattered with blood and, of course, screaming. Gun would direct the actresses in short horror scenes, giving them instructions for character. Several of the scenes required them to wear a bikini or discover clothes.

For the Flix website, author Eliza Jansen He points out how much the gross show is. The judges did not only look for great actresses who were capable of performing stunts and ready to record blood scenes, but sexualized, sexualized "final girls". Regardless of the motivation, it is difficult to watch a reality show in which the prominent actress is tied to a rope while wearing a bikini and is instructed to cry.

Unfortunately, even Gun entered the suspicious shenanigans, declaring in the first episode: "Nothing is warmer than the queen of screams of bad." One of the challenges was to eat a piece of fruit "as far as possible". They have been told that a good queen of scream should be "vibrant, vulnerable, feminine and bold". Who came up with those parameters, he didn't have to see many horror movies, and a dozen examples of final girls (A term for the last engineer standing in a desirable film) that do not match those descriptors immediately fall to my mind. The actresses were trained to trim the stuntmen with shovels, cry over false carcasses and scream, scream, scream.

On top of all the challenges of acting/trick/beauty - because this was a real show VH1 - a lot of drama was produced by the fact that competing actresses had to gather together for the duration of the filming. Undoubtedly, competitors played their outcry for each other in an attempt to produce good television.

In her article "Flix", Jansen noted that the worst trick of the series was when competitors were encouraged to rest and go drinks and a bar, not knowing they would have to undergo additional acting challenges when they were poisoned. The nature of the show's award - a real employment opportunity - forced competitors to manage particularly difficult to each other. This was not for just a cash prize, but for a real potential existence. The stakes were higher than in the average competition show.

Some reports, As at popculture.comHe noted that Smith's show, perhaps confusing, told one of the competitors that she was not enough to win, even if she was a good actress.

Gun, you need to remember, began its beginning Shocking films like "Tromeo and Ietulieth", And he allows some of his pools instincts to run wild on Crick Queens. He brings them to Michael Ruker and John Gun to play heavy versus competitors, but then dresses actresses as vulnerable students. Homa was also significant, talking about how he tends to make women cry.

For the second and last season, the procedure was repeated, again with Homa, but this time joined actress Jameimi King (from the rhyme of "My Bloody in Valentu") and director Tim Sullivan (director of "2001 maniacs") as judges. The second season award was a small role in the SAW 3D, then considered the last chapter in the series (There have been four more since).

The first season's winner was Tenedra Howard, who played the character Simone in "Saw VI". It is she who had a contraction climbed her head and had to cut off her hand with a hunting knife. The winner of the second season was Gabi West, who was caught as a character named Kara. Second place winner of Season 2 was Ainia Lee Ortiz, who will continue to act in all 44 episodes of Roswood and will play the lead in all 105 episodes of Station 19. At least someone was able to save an appropriate career from this.

"Crick Queens" is available online via the premiere video. It is a fascinating window in the place where pop culture was in the late 2000s, and as sexism and shock humor were still widespread.
