Critics Consensus

Though restrained by most torture porn standards, Would You Rather's brilliant premise is ultimately harmed by its tendency towards blood and guts.

Hardly a most dangerous game night at the movies.

This restrained exercise in torture porn benefits from its clever concept and restrained execution.

A derivative horror movie with highfalutin pretensions.

3/5

Jeffrey Combs once again elevates a relatively mundane experience into something sort of enjoyable, yet it's only one of many films in this specific subgenre that fails to stand out in any major ways.

Would You Rather is a horror film in the truest sense, opening up frightening doors in our minds and making us look at parts of ourselves. It's not easy, but it is well-done and extremely compelling.

1.5/4

An ungainly horror film that tries to twist the genre in a new direction, but fails utterly. There are some truly horrific scenes, but nothing worth remembering afterwards.

This is a not so subtle critique of capitalism as it’s represented today, but it remains a truly terrifying film with a lot to say and a lot of induced anxiety for the audience. I also applaud its bravery in making a less than predictable ending.

The movie would you rather was really a good movie about people from different walks of life with different problems coming together to play a game a deadly game. Each one of the characters in this movie had a past or problem they were trying to overcome or deal with with the promise of a monetary award at the end of the game. So as not to spoil the movie I’m not gonna tell you much more about it but to say that you will be on the edge of your seat it was very well directed and done and it’s not for the faint of heart. I do not recommend this movie for children under the ages of 16. Britney snow is one of my favorite actresses and she never disappoints and certainly not in this film. So to all the people out there that like psychological thrillers this is a good one

The movie idea had potential but it was all very rushed and low character development possibly do to low funding.

Very solid movie. Enjoyed it. Iris was great as well as the rest of the cast. Watch if you have a chance.

I've seen high school student films with better production quality and writing. The sound design sounds like it had a $2 budget. The shots and editing is terrible. I just don't understand how it went so wrong.
