Synopsis
Cheap Thrills (2013) is an American dark comedy thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by E.L. Katz, the film stars Pat Healy as Craig, a new father who loses his job and gets an eviction notice on the same miserable day. That night, running into an old friend (Ethan Embry) at a bar leads to a meeting with a wealthy, bored couple — Colin (David Koechner) and Violet (Sara Paxton) — who start handing out cash for small dares.
The dares start out harmless. Then progressively less so. Then the kind you can't walk back from. The four-person dynamic tightens like a vice over the course of one long night, as Craig and his friend begin competing in ways that make clear just how far desperation can push a person.
Made on a tight budget, the film earned strong notices for its lean, precise script and the performances that carry it. The tagline sums it up cold: what doesn't kill you makes you richer. Watch Cheap Thrills online on iFILM.
