David Guy Levy takes the concept of the party game "Would You Rather" and turns it into a deadly game of fate in this thriller of the same name.
Running along the same lines as torture porn, it's easy to compare it to the Saw films but it's bumped up a bit more due to a single tense setting, dark humor, snappy dialogue and an entertaining cast including Brittany Snow, Jeffrey Combs and a brief yet effective part played by John Heard. The film lacks any sort of character backgrounds, with the exception of Snow's, so we're not too surprised to see who the last player standing is in the anti-climatic final 20 minutes. I'll probably forget all about this film by the end of the week but it was sick fun while it lasted.
