Guts & Glory
GUTS & GLORY is a genre-bending competition series where real contestants compete after being dropped into terrifying, fully immersive genre-themed scenarios. Designed by special make up fx icon and filmmaker Greg Nicotero, each challenge tests fear, skill, and smarts-from an outlandish autopsy to demonically possessed contestants. With cinematic production values, hidden cameras, and no idea what's coming next, contestants must survive the night... or be eliminated in ways they'll never see coming.

pretty fun. I love the creatures and there is just enough of that "reality show" element to suspend the "reality" that . . well I'm not the spoiler. Nicotero is a legend. Loved the haunted house vibe and again, the special effects and creatures were all really well done.
I actually liked it…. . different……
I didn't even make it halfway through the first episode before I realized that everything was staged. This was a huge letdown.
Poorly executed and very cheesy. I watched to finish it but I don’t recommend it.
Generally agree with most of the other reviews that this was a great first draft, but doesn't really land. The tone of both the story and the competition components never feels right and that's mostly due to the contestants having to pretend that maybe they are in the story. Retool for season two, maybe think about bringing in some horror fans as contestants, rather than the boring competition show archetypes. Work on making the story elements more organic and not rely on your competitors to "act". Also would love for Greg and his team to host a horror makeup competition show. It has been done before, but there's plenty of room for it, especially here at Shudder.
