My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Would You Rather (2012)

I start my annual Halloween Horror Movie Month with this little thriller from director David Grey Levy.   It stars Brittney Snow as a girl who attends a special dinner with the promise of $10,000.   When she arrives the host of the party, Mr. Lambrick (played by Jeffrey Combs) gathers his group of victims, I mean, dinner guests, and tells them they’re about to play a version of “Would You Rather” but with deadly consequences.   It never gets that clever as I had hoped it would.  It’s trying to shock you like a Saw movie but it’s only slightly disturbing.  I would have liked some more thoughtful wickedness.   It’s not all bad, it’s entertaining as much as a low-budget film like this should be.  Don’t expect anything really shocking or unexpected.
