The Task

Six strangers are lured to an isolated, abandoned mansion under the pretense of a reality competition show. The prize is a substantial cash reward, but as the competition begins, they realize they are trapped and the game is far more sinister than they imagined. Their survival depends on completing increasingly dangerous tasks, with elimination meaning death. The remaining contestants must fight for their lives against a mysterious entity controlling the house.
