4. Would You Rather - It Was All A Waste Of Time

Would You Rather has an incredibly simple premise underpinned by one sad family story. A young woman named Iris is trying to pay for her brother’s cancer treatment, and she is offered the chance to have it all paid for and get him a bone marrow donor if only she wins a simple game of ‘Would You Rather.’

The game, of course, isn’t so simple after all. It involves torture, mutilation and several murders. Iris powers through: she survives almost being drowned, witnessing all manner of horrors and eventually choosing to murder a man for her own monetary gain. All of this is, of course, in aid of her brother for whom the money could potentially save and would guarantee him a donor.

Thing is that after all this she returns home to find that her brother has taken his own life, tragically feeling that he was a burden on his sister and not wanting to cause anyone any more pain. Arguably this made everything worse in every conceivable way because not only will Iris now mourn the death of her brother, but she subjected herself to torture and committed a murder all for nothing.
