Upon receiving a phone call informing him that he's on a hidden camera game show where he must execute 13 tasks to receive a sum total cash prize of $6.2M, Elliot dismissively follows through with his first two instructions: swat the fly that is currently bothering him, then eat the fly.

Prof. Edgar Solomon:
A bear taking a dump asked a rabbit, "Does shit stick to your fur as a habit?" "Of course not," said the hare, "It's really quite rare," so the bear wiped his ass with the rabbit. There once was a lady named Dot who lived off of pig shit and snot. When she ran out of these, she ate the green cheese... that she grew on the sides... of her twat.

Although I have not seen the original and therefore cannot compare, I found the concept here to be pretty great. In some ways it complements the recent "Would You Rather" film with Jeffrey Combs and June Squibb. Director Daniel Stamm ("The Last Exorcism") has done a fine job mixing suspense and very, very dark comedy.
Mark Webber ("Scott Pilgrim vs. the World") is an incredible lead, going from nice guy to demented as the film progresses. This is a range of acting rarely seen in mainstream roles. And then we have Ron Perlman, who you cannot help but love.
There are plenty of good twists throughout the film, from the first five minutes and on. Some reviews say the film "unravels" as it goes on, but I would strongly disagree. Maybe you will not like the direction it goes, but it does anything but "unravel" -- the plot just keeps getting more intense...
