Synopsis

In 'Would You Rather' (2012), a woman desperately seeking money for her brother's leukemia treatment is invited to a dinner party. However, she soon realizes it's a deadly game where the guests must choose between horrible scenarios for a chance at a large cash prize.

Why Watch It
A claustrophobic torture-game thriller that transforms a parlor game concept into genuine dread through smart social commentary and raw performances. Levy mines real tension from impossible moral choices rather than relying on cheap shocks, creating an unsettling meditation on desperation and class exploitation. Sharp, lean, and genuinely unsettling—proof that inventive low-budget horror can outthink its bigger-budget counterparts.
