A scheming couple put a struggling family man and his old friend through a series of increasingly twisted dares over the course of an evening at a local bar.
- Vitor Lameirão AlvesDecember 28, 2025Bloody brilliant and wickedly funny, Cheap Thrills recalls Funny Games’ dark social experiment while adding a twisted comedic bite akin to Sightseers. The film revels in how far desperation can push people, blending suspense with biting satire. Every shock is purposeful, every laugh a little cruel. A cautionary tale in style and substance, it’s a thrilling exploration of human greed and morality.
