Six teenagers wake up in an abandoned factory, with no idea of what is going on or how they got there. Their "host", named "Tetris", tells them over a PA system that they are on a reality show called "Are You Scared?" However, their challenges are real, and if they fail, they will be disqualified... permanently.
Due to its quiet release, Are You Scared? has received few professional critiques, and most have been negative. The most prominent complaint has been that the premise of the film was lifted from the more successful Saw; Scott Foy went so far to call the film "Saw for Dummies" and a "shameless knock-off." He also ended his review with the denouncement, "No, I was not scared."[2] Slasherpool, however, was "surprised by how decent it turned out to be," citing it as "idiotic" but "mildly entertaining," "as far as rip-offs go."
