50 Cent's new horror movie Skill House is so gory that it made a cameraman pass out.
The film is said to be a dark satire of social media and influencer culture, while looking at the lengths people will go to attain fame.
“Skill House is being described as a Saw-like take that breaks into the phenomenon of social media fame and culture, offers an unflinching depiction of 'clout' and explores the new phenomenon of 'influencers', their fame and what they are willing to do to attain it,” according to The Wrap.
The rapper, who's real name is Curtis Jackson, is producing and acting in the new film. He shared a story on his Instagram, explaining what went down with the cameraman.

Jackson first captioned the post: "The camera fell to the ground while filming. This s**t is gonna be crazy for real."
The 47-year-old then explained that the cameraman 'couldn’t take how real it was', while adding that the team plan on 'elevating horror to the next level. This is gonna change the rules of the game'.
Director Josh Stolberg also wrote on Twitter: "Yikes!!! We shot a kill scene last night and the camera operator became so nauseated that he passed out and the camera crashed to the ground.

"Had to stop down for a 1/2 hour. He’s okay now but… get ready for some crazy s**t!"
I can't help but think how people will react to the film in cinemas.
“Just as this film is the first of a new genre of horror, social media personalities like Bryce [Hall] and Hannah [Stocking] are a new genre of celebrity,” Stolberg added.

“We are breaking creative boundaries and career boundaries here.
“Hannah has dynamic talent and encompasses everything this project is about – internet fame and the evolution in the entertainment industry.
“We are thrilled to have her joining our cast.”
Producer Ryan Kavanaugh also said: "This film is bursting with mavericks of entertainment, many of them spanning multiple genres and platforms.

"From a global rap and hip-hop music icon to a businessman, actor, writer, and producer – if anyone knows a thing or two about breaking the boundaries, it’s 50 Cent.
"I’m honored to work alongside him as we watch Bryce do the same with his career."
Alongside 50 Cent, the film will star the likes of Neal McDonough, Caitlin Carmichael, Leah Pipes, John DeLuca, Paige VanZant and McCarrie McCausland.
