RyanSz 3140 Posted September 25, 2015 I was surprised at how much I ended up liking this movie after seeing the first trailer which made it seem really low budget in a bad way, but after watching it it's actually really well done all around. Featuring a cast made up almost entirely of character actors like Jeffrey Combs and John Heard along with Brittany Snow and ex-porn star Sasha Grey, the movie revolves around a group of people who are brought to the house of a wealthy philanthropist offering to take care of one of them financially and otherwise for the rest of their lives, so long as they win his contest. They play the old game "Would You Rather" where they have to choose between two options, but instead of banal questions they are rather painful acts like shocking a person with a car battery or caning a person. A person is removed from the game when they can't continue or are unable to choose an option or follow through with their choice in a set amount of time. The movie is well acted and it builds a good amount of suspense as you watch these people perform the various challenges. While not being the craziest movie outside of the initial plot, especially in comparison to other HDTGM movies, I still feel it would make for a good episode as that host break down the overall game and what they would do in those situations. 1 Share this post Link to post

RyanSz 3140 Posted September 28, 2015 I have found over the years some of the best straight to video movies have been ones comprised of only really character actors, since they are usually used to bolster theatrical movies in the first place. Another one that I absolutely loved and mentioned prior on this forum was Sushi Girl which had Tony Todd, Mark Hamill, Sonny Chiba, and Noah Hathaway about criminals trying to find lost loot from a former crew member who just got out of prison. It was very dark like this movie and had great performances from its leads, especially from Todd and Hamill. Share this post Link to post
Sievers 233 Posted September 28, 2015 And also they NEED to get Scott Aukerman as a guest obviously... Maybe send the suggestion to his personal twitter to try and get it to happen. Share this post Link to post
