I would give 10 stars if ending wasn't like that. Other than that film was good enough for me.
... View MoreWow what a movie! Ignore the haters! This was a great, great movie. All the game players had a motivation to be there and they desperately needed money which set up what was to happen next. Great story telling as the stakes got higher and higher and personal conflict got deeper and deeper. Heard was great but he didn't have a very big part. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next and what choices they would have to make. Must see movie!
... View MoreWould you rather falls very much into the genre of torture thriller. A genre that seems strong for volume, and lacking when it comes to quality. Would you rather is interesting in terms of concept, makes me think of the difference in healthcare between the USA and the UK, it seems hard for us Brits to contemplate someone in Poverty having no access to health care. It's that system that gives the film its story, how far would a girl go to change her brother's life.It starts off fairly mild, then gets more and more grim, without being visually gratuitous, that I think benefits the viewer, leaving the imagination do its work. You feel the enjoyment the twisted benefactor Shepard Lambrick gets from each 'game,' Jeffrey Combs is undoubtedly the standout in the film, but Robin Lord Taylor and Brittany Snow also stand out.I wouldn't say it's ultimately satisfying, but it's still a good watch.
... View MoreAs a horror movie fanatic, I thought the plot and title was rather interesting. Though as I watched the movie, I didn't feel the thrill that I usually get from horror. I felt quite disturbed by everything. They made deaths look way too easy and fake.Acting was sub par and the plot and characters were missing A LOT. You only knew about Brittany Snow's character and no one else. One guy is there because of being in a lot of debt and previously being a drinker.. That's all we got from the other characters. It really didn't give us anything to root for and made it quite obvious how the ending would turn out.The ending had to be the worst ending to a movie I have ever seen. I'm not going to spoil it but seriously? After all she went through they go and do that? The movie ended with that unfulfilled feeling and disappointment. That doctor didn't even get caught? At least have something good happen. I know that not everything has to be a happily ever after but that's what I was hoping for since the start.Also, it is incredibly unrealistic to make every character stupid. I don't know what the writers were thinking but couldn't they at least have one that could think a little more logically? Also, where's the real motive of the doctor? Why does he enjoy watching people torment each other? What's the whole point of having the doctors son there? If the first doctor (the one who went to rescue them) knew where it was happening, why not just report it to the cops instead of going in to a dangerous place? I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Even those who enjoy watching disturbing movies. This one pretty much crossed the line.
