It examines how the characters of people on reality television are simplified to serve the show's needs and narratives. Further, it questions whether our consumption of reality television negatively affects the lives of the reality television participants. On the surface CREATING A MONSTER is about reality television. However, sub-textually the film confronts a bigger ethical question about the psychological impact on the contestants: is the fault placed on reality television producers or the audience who consumes the product?
