The folks over at Anchor Bay sent along some info on a project called The Scorned that sounds kind of interesting. Featuring a cast of TV reality stars this film seems to be part parody, part genre film. Here is the press release, read on and decide for yourself:
It’s the battle of the genres when Reality TV and Horror join forces to become…The Scorned! Now reality meets DVD when IDT Entertainment’s Anchor Bay Entertainment releases The Scorned as a 2-disc special edition DVD on April 11, 2006 with an SRP of $24.98.
The Scorned features reality TV’s biggest personalities, who have appeared in some of the genre’s defining shows: Steven Hill (“The Real World You Never Saw: Las Vegas”), Jenna Lewis (“Survivor”, “Eco-Challenge: Fiji Islands”), Bob Guiney (“The Bachelor”, “Trista and Ryan’s Wedding”), Tonya Cooley (“MTV’s Real World: Chicago”), and Trishelle Cannatella (“The Real World: Las Vegas”, “The Surreal Life”).
The casting and filming of The Scorned was documented in episodic fashion in the hit E! Entertainment reality TV series “Kill Reality”, where backstage squabbles and romantic liaisons mixed with onstage death scenes (“They’re Dying To Make It In Hollywood”!). The cast was also featured on the “Kill Reality” radio show on TheFishBowl.com, hosted by Jenna Lewis and Rob Cesternino.
In a beach house on the Malibu shore, a young couple has a lovers’ quarrel. The boyfriend storms out, into the arms of their housemate. When the infidelity is discovered, a horrible cycle of violence and vengeance begins. Years later, a group of young twentysomethings move into the abandoned house, and soon they succumb to the seductive power of temptation and the equally compelling power of betrayal. These new tenants must now fight to survive and to unlock the shocking mystery of The Scorned.
