Spoiler free. Monday 20th January-Would You Rather (2012)
Would You Rather is a twisted story about what you are wiling to do to better your life and the lives of your loved ones.
Iris (Brittany Snow) is unemployed and is doing whatever she can to look after her sick brother who is in need of a Bone Marrow transplant, she is then introduced by her Doctor Dr. Barden to Shepard Lambrick (Jeffery combs), A billionaire who heads a foundation that builds clinics and schools all over the world who offers Iris an opportunity to get the finances she need to get her brother and immediate transplant and become debt free. All she has to do is attend a dinner party at the Lambrick house and win a special game....She reluctantly accepts the invitation
When she arrives she is introduced to the seven other participants who are also skeptical about the events are to unfold in the evening. They then have dinner in where the game itself begins...The game is called 'Would You Rather'. It's quite simple, you decide which of the 2 tasks you would rather do. If you choose either then you are eliminated, The game ends when only one person is still in the game. This begins quite simply...(Slight Spoiler alert) A recovering alcoholic who has not touched a single drink in 15 years is offered $10,000 to drink a glass of wine. Other players are given similar offer but as the game progresses the choices of 'Would You Rather' become more sadistic and unforgiving and the players nerves and will are tested.

I loved repeat LOVED THIS MOVIE! I love games and I very much enjoy sadistic mad people who play with people's emotions and pray on there emotions and this is where Jeffery Combs performance truly stands out, He is FANTASTIC in this movie, I also liked Amy's character too...Pretty much what I look for in my perfect woman Lol. Most of the players stand out in there own way but you don't get too much detail about what they individually need the money for...Which bothered me. I think this movie is a reflection of the desperate times we live in where there are some of us who are willing to do almost anything if pushed just to get that extra cash to live better lives or help a loved one in need. Some of the rounds of 'Would You Rather' are at times hard to watch also, Not too much violence but it didn't matter as the nerves were there....Brilliant movie, Can't recommend that you watch it enough..It's currently available on Netflix UK
4.5/5 I 'Would Rather' watch this again and again :)
