Things and rules change over the course of the evening’s sickening events and thus the level of violence and callousness is slowly elevated.
These are hapless pawns, subject to the whims of a madman who seems all too keen to break his own rules when it suits his sadistic urges. We see mostly well-meaning people slowly face the harsh reality that brutality is not merely the only way to get what they want but indeed to survive at all.
#Would you rather 2012 movie#
The premise is interesting enough how far would you go to save someone you love? Much like the genre, it is an overdone premise but at least this movie approaches the subject somewhat differently.
Like so many bandwagon-jumpers, Would You Rather? is what happens when a filmmaker sees a quick profit to be made from someone else’s accomplishments. While it is quite safe to say that part of the appeal for this particular type of movie is a morbid curiosity of portrayed barbarity Would You Rather? offers very little to separate it from its peers. Slotting into the pejoratively named sub-genre of torture porn, Would You Rather? is a formulaic, predictable and overall tepid entry into an already vastly overcrowded subgenre. The party culminates with a game against other down-on-their-luck attendees in a winner take all version of the children’s game, would you rather?
