13 Beloved
Why this pick
A cash-strapped man follows increasingly degrading paid instructions in this lean, nasty thriller; it shares Cheap Thrills’ mounting humiliation and class-fuelled unease.
03
The Invitation
Why this pick
Its intimate dinner-party setting turns social politeness into steadily tightening dread, matching the contained pressure and sinister affluent-host energy of Cheap Thrills.
04
The Last Supper
Why this pick
This caustic chamber piece uses dinner conversation and moral provocation as a pressure cooker, delivering the same uneasy laughs and escalating ethical ugliness.
05
The House of Yes
Why this pick
A family gathering becomes a viciously funny psychological siege. Its theatrical confinement, taboo-charged humor, and unstable power dynamics echo the uncomfortable bite of Cheap Thrills.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Craig (Pat Healy) is an auto mechanic who loses his job. He is unable to pay his rent and after seeing the eviction sign, he goes to a dive bar, where he meets an old friend from high school, Vince (Ethan Embry). After their reunion, they meet a rich couple, Colin and Violet (David Koechner and Sara Paxton), who appear friendly and benign initially, and after becoming aware of Craig's dire financial situation, offer them money in return for completing certain tasks to entertain Violet, as it is her birthday.
