I don't usually even try horror movies that are in the form of games like Saw. What caught my eye - pun intended - were the actors in this. Snow (Pitch Perfect), Gilliard (The Machinist), Gjokaj (Dollhouse), Heard (Home Alone), and Steeples (Akeelah and the Bee). A group of people who have needs greater than they themselves can fill agree to meet at a house and play the game, would you rather. There are four rounds: 1) electrocute yourself or someone else 2) stab someone in the leg or cane someone 3) pick a punishment from a card [the picture above] or be submerged in water for 2 minutes and 4) only 2 people left shot the other person and win or you both go home. Round three was horrific (I know it's a horror movie) the other rounds were more psychological than horrific - if that makes sense. Stop reading now if you don't want to know the end
Spoiler: Snow is the main character. She goes to get bone marrow and money for her brother who has cancer. She shoots, Gjokai which goes against her character. When she gets home with her winnings, her brother has killed himself so he isn't a burden for her.
All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you like this kind of horror. I saw it on HBO
