What to Know

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. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 02/08/2013
This restrained exercise in torture porn benefits from its clever concept and restrained execution. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 02/08/2013
2/5
A derivative horror movie with highfalutin pretensions. Go to Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 09/22/2023
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. Go to Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X 01/26/2019

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. Go to Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight 12/15/2013
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Cameron P @camp185 Feb 27 I watched this movie first a long time ago and rewatched it becasue this movie stuck with me and it is very rememberable See more Theresa V @Dukemom57 Feb 24 This was so painful to watch. Interesting concept and I like Brittany Snow but it’s depressing. This is coming from someone who typically likes depressing dramas. Just went no where. See more Jennifer B. @itsjenloveya Feb 5 Me and my cousin watched it, nothing really happend in the movie we got bored pretty quick and didn't even finished it, if you're a person with a short attetion span definitely not recommended for you See more Steven B @RT77676529 Feb 4 Poorly done,smirky assholes are too annoying to not get the ice pick in the eye. See more David S. @baxter667 Feb 1 Though this is clearly a saw knockoff, which I didn't like, the movie despite its violence is surprisingly good. Some good acting, a likeable cast, and a simple plot, make this film watchable, it's ending is terrible, it wastes a fine cast at times, and there are some other problems, but if you go in with an open mind, and just enjoy the ride, it does get better. Watchable, but not recommended for non horror fans, if you like this type of film, you will have a fine time with it, you don't, there are certainly better films!!!
