Cheap Thrills
Directed by E.L. Katz
After down-and-out family man Craig (Pat Healy, COMPLIANCE) simultaneously loses his job and is served an eviction notice, he runs into his long-lost deadbeat pal Vince (Ethan Embry, EMPIRE RECORDS) at a local dive bar. As the two drink their troubles away, they are lured by a couple celebrating a birthday (ANCHORMAN’s David Koechner and THE INNKEEPER's Sara Paxton), who shell out obscene wads of cash to Craig and Vince in exchange for taking on harmless bets.The party continues to a strip club and eventually to the couple’s home, where the cash payoffs increase wildly as the challenges become more outrageous, hilarious, illegal and even downright inhuman.
A darkly comic thriller, CHEAP THRILLS follows the one-night descent of two friends participating in a series of escalating paid dares to entertain a wealthy couple with a twisted sense of humor.
Cast: Pat Healy, Ethan Embry, Sara Paxton, David Koechner

Not sure 5 stars is warranted, though it’s a fun tale of what one man will do to pay the bills and support his family.
idk not really my thing, especially toward the end
"I keep the keys on the shelf there" LMAO
really enjoyed this film. It really made me stop and think about how far one can go for money.
Good movie but the tone became dry and steady 1.5/3 the way through. And also as someone has stated it’s a shame this doesn’t have subtitles
