Review of Would You Rather (2013) by Brandon W — 11 Nov 2015

I believe a story like this would work better as a stage play. The reason is that just 2 scenes pass out of the same place (well kinda 3) but still would work if they do it. The story is a drama (not a terror film to be honest). It's more an open mind movie where you need to think more than play a la SAW style (SAW is more strong+gory and this movie of WYR is not). Since fear is in the mind, you could think you will get scared if you pass for a situation like this (who wouldn't?). Now what I thought was predictable in a way (coz it was) is the ending. Can't reveal what happens but if you were in Iris's shoes, you know she choose wrong (I know people would do anything for family but if she realy cared, she would have not played this in the 1st place).

The cast + music score: I really enjoyed this cast and the music score was really well made. I must be honest. I got introduced to this film coz my brother is a terror/horror fan (I used to be until I saw a repetitive pattern in their stories for not saying cliches and got bored). I believe that in 2 days I got to see 2 films out of those cliches somehow: this one and The Babadook for real. So yes, love to see one of the final works of Snow (she did amazing in this role), same Robin Lord Taylor (got me! He was another reason to see this *I also forgot he was in Walking Dead, lord me!*).

Again, this story would have worked better on stage a la Richard III (making the front lines get a bit gory hehe. I know what I say coz I went to see that play on 2014 at London and was fun). Enjoy my short review and hope to see a 2nd part (hope in stage rather than on film). - November 11 2015 review.
