11 Best 'Gameshow' Horror Films
4. 13 Sins
Beginning simply with a phone call denoting a hidden camera show, a salesman stuck in mounting debt is offered the opportunity to win $6.2 million. All he has to do is complete a series of 13 tasks, each more dangerous than the last.
Starting out with swatting a fly, and then eating the dead bug - it all seems relatively simple for such a huge payout. Locked in until the end and with challenges getting more and more intense, it isn’t long until our salesman starts to panic, but by then it’s too late.
Serving as a remake of Thai comedy-horror 13 Beloved, this film is the Americanised bastard child of Hollywood and great Asian horror concepts. Presenting a much darker edge to the original film, 13 Sins got a mixed reception upon release - but it's worth giving it a chance for a taster of interesting psychological gameplay.
