Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
Desperate to help her ailing brother, a young woman agrees to compete in a deadly game of "Would You Rather" hosted by a sadistic aristocrat.
Would You Rather is a competent but unremarkable entry in the torture-porn/death game subgenre popularized by Saw and its imitators. The premise—a dinner party game escalating to lethal consequences—offers some tension and a reasonably committed central performance from Brittany Snow, but the film leans heavily on familiar genre tropes without distinguishing itself meaningfully. The cinematography is flat and workmanlike, typical of low-budget horror productions. The ending has a genuinely bleak and memorable final beat that elevates it slightly above its peers, but overall the film is derivative of better genre exercises like Exam or Would You Rather-adjacent thrillers.
