Would You Rather is a horror/thriller built on a very simple
premises. It involves a children’s game played by a group of people were only
pain exists and every decision leads to it.
In the film, actor Jeffrey Combs, a TV veteran (in a Star
Trek TV universe he played nine different characters) is the biggest pillar
holding the story from crumbling. He plays Shepard Lambrick, head of a
mysterious group that offers a young woman named Iris a chance to save her
leukemia stricken brother.
His offer includes money, but also the influence that would help her brother to receive the necessary medical treatment. Everything she needs to do is to come to a dinner party, and along with other competitors, try to win first place in a game. Iris, broken by her failed attempts to find help and lacking any other ideas, hesitantly accepts.
