This is another Jeffrey Combs movie. To me, that is all it was. I watched it solely for Jeffrey Combs and was expecting nothing of value aside from Jeffrey Combs. I'm a huge fan.

The story is one most horror fans will be familiar with. A crazy person takes a bunch of desperate people, dangles money (and survival) in front of their faces, and forces them to play a life or death game.

Would you rather give yourself an electric shock, or shock the person next to you? That's how it begins. Well, technically, it begins with offering a vegetarian $10,000 to eat a steak... and offering a decades sober alcoholic $50,000 to drink an entire decanter of whiskey.

It ends with everyone dead except for one, obviously.

Jeffrey Combs. He is campy perfection... always. And in this film, he played the crazy guy forcing everyone to do these ghastly things. Perfect. He also kept it from becoming boring or too tense. He's just so much fun to watch.

I rate it 100 stars for Jeffrey Combs.
3 stars for an average movie that was not special in any way, aside from its star.
