A sunny summer beach house serves as the unlikely stage for a series of brutal murders in director Robert Kubilos' blood-soaked tale of betrayal and revenge. Their marriage rapidly approaching and their relationship quickly crumbling, engaged couple Matt (Bob Guiney) and Raina (Trish Schneider) have a knock down, blow out confrontation in their remote Malibu beach house that drives Matt into the open arms of Raina's maid of honor Nicole (Trishelle Cannatella). When Raina discovers the spiteful duo in a compromising position, the violent struggle that ensues finds Raina meeting a grim fate at the bad end of a particularly sharp knife. In the following months, the darkened beach house sits perched silent and lifeless on the shore as pleasure-seeking vacationers go out of their way to procure less tragic accommodations. When 17 months have passed and unassuming vacationers Oliver (Steven Hill), Kirsten (Jenna Lewis), Seth (Reichen Lehmkuhl), and DQ (Johnny Fairplay) rent the beach house unaware of its bloody history, a demonic lust washes over the foursome forcing them to betray their romantic relationships. As the flesh-lust quickly turns to blood-lust and a local spiritualist (Ethan Zohn) warns the remaining trio that Raina's vengeful ghost holds malevolent power over the home, Kirsten, Murray, and Oliver are forced to struggle for survival against an unseen entity of murderous persuasion. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
Originally slated to air in the final months of 2003, CBS' long-awaited Survivor: All-Stars finally saw the light of day in early 2004, its debut episode telecast just after the network's Super Bowl coverage on February 1. As the title indicated, this eighth season of Survivor featured several of the most popular contestants from the past seven seasons, including such celebrated "sole survivors" as Richard Hatch, Jenna Morasca, and Tina Wesson, as well as such also-rans as the original Survivor's Rudy Boesch, Jenna Lewis, Ethan Zohn, and Susan Hawk; Survivor: The Australian Outback's Amber Brkich, Jerri Manthey, Alicia Calaway, and Colby Donaldson; Survivor: Marquesas' Rob Mariano and Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien; Survivor: Africa's Tom Buchanan and Lex Van den Berghe; Survivor: Pearl Islands' Rupert Boneham; Survivor: Thailand's Shii Ann Huang; and Survivor: The Amazon's Rob Cesternino. Survivor: All-Stars marked a number of firsts for the reality game show: the first time three rather than two tribes were set up in the opening episode; the first competition in which the reward challenge and immunity challenge were one and the same; the first time that a romance between two of the players blatantly (but tastefully) developed in front of the cameras rather than being merely hinted at; and the first instance wherein two contestants quit the show voluntarily within a single season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The first season of CBS's ratings-juggernaut Survivor changed the face of television for years to come. As the first big hit network reality game show, the program immediately became an American institution, inspiring countless rip-offs and making minor celebrities out of its contestants. The Mark Burnett-produced show began on May 31, 2000 with 16 castaways, including retired Navy Seal Rudy Boesch, future Rob Schneider co-star Colleen Haskell, and the infamous Richard Hatch. By the concluding episode on August 23, the number of contestants had been whittled down to four after weeks of challenges, alliances, manipulation, and backstabbing. By the end of the two-hour finale, one contestant was named the "sole survivor" and was awarded one million dollars. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
