- Is there an option where you just shoot me instead?

Man, my version of Saw only had the body holding a revolver. It would have been 100x better if he was holding a retriever instead.
I was looking for this comment😁
A golden one?
@@kwcy92 preferably a golden one, yes lol
No! Chocolate!😂
Almost every choice in Would You Rather is horrendous.
Gordon Ramsey watched the Platform and said, turning this into a cooking show😂
"Life", was a better Cloverfield prequel than that other one that shall remain unnamed
“Knock at the Cabin” is VERY different than the book “Cabin at the End of the World.” VERY
Frozen scared the shit out of me. I had went skiing before watching it and ive been stuck on a ski lift, its scary.
You also have the ending of the Mist as well as The Good Son (more thriller I guess) - more of those horrendous decision moments
"Meat pancake", I now have a new word to describe that. Thank you.
More a meat waffle actually. The force of gravity vs the force of the unmoving ground with act rather like the two sides to make a waffle, so.
Or a George Foreman grill! Cooks out the juices and yeah. Would have cleaned her out pretty good.
And “retriever” as a new word for revolver 😂
I saw Fall a couple of nights ago. A very good scary movie.
@@seanromine3932 Lmao brooo, not the George Forman grill!😂😭
I mean, it might be a bit fringe for horror, but I think the introspective decision made by Ryan Reynolds's Jerry in The Voices is probably one of the most horrendous decisions. Dude had to mentally confront his demons in order to only find out that he was the monster all along, which breaks him and eventually sees him sitting down comfortably and waiting for the end as a building burns down around him. It's made even more painful by the fact that it IS actually one of those horror movies that spends a majority of the time being happy and wholesome, even if it was a delusion.
The phone in SAW couldn't make outgoing calls. Using the blade to reach it would have done nothing
“Retriever” 😂
Tf, that ending to The Killing of a Scared Deer is wild. Every good parent would gladly give their life for their children to live. They’re the most important thing to them ffs. Talk about horrible parents. I don’t even think hospitals offer grievance payments to widow(ers) like fire, and police do (assuming the military does as well, I’d hope they would) to support their family. Then again this usually only applies for on the job deaths so I think the mother would be sol.
Holding a retriever. Poor pupper.
how is The Mist not on/ at the top of this list??????!
Probably coz it's been in their list for umpteen times.
It’s on every list and seriously we’re just sick of it.
because he wasn't faced with 2 equally horrible decisions. he was faced with one horrible decision and one decision requiring bravery & moral resolve in the face of the terrifying unknown, and he chose... poorly.
Good question.
#7 shouldn't be on this list. If the choice is to die a horrible death or toss your DEAD friend off the tower it's not even a choice! There is absolutely no reason NOT to toss Shiloh off. If it didn't work Becky might have regretted not keeping a chunk or two of the body to stave off starvation but the lack of water probably would have made it a mute point.
also as a friend if I am dead my friends have free rain to do whatever they want to do to body to survive.
People are squeamish about tossing their friends off of towers, even if they won’t feel it, the tosser still kind of does
I think it's more that she's been hallucinating the presence of Shiloh for a good portion of the film's run, and thinking of ways for BOTH of them successfully escape. Inside of her head, it's her and someone that she loves dearly enough to be convinced to climb the tower with - remembering that even with the assurance of back-up plans, it takes an extraordinary amount of faith, love, and trust to enter situations such as this only by words, and without making back-up plans of your own - and it's an awful situation, but it's one that both are still in together and that they can look back on in the future. Then she remembers. She sees Shiloh's body, she remembers. Her mind can't hide that information from her anymore. In less than a second, she's facing the sense of devastation, the loss, the realization, and the mourning that she couldn't bring herself to do before. With human attachment's to physical bodies as the extension of the mind and person they once loved, she's destroying another substantial part of Shiloh and the world that she knew with her by putting that phone there and shoving her. In less than a day, she has to make the decision of how to get down, and if she wants to (possibly) destroy the last vestiges she has of her friend. It's like shoving the person rather than a corpse. I'd imagine survivor's guilt and what-ifs likely would still play throughout her head. Further grief from it. That's not even considering the fact that, a year prior, her very husband had died in a climbing accident, and though under different circumstances, she's likely reliving another trauma as a fresh one is created by having Shiloh die from this one, too. Objectively, it's very little and almost incomprehensible to NOT do it, but it can be the pushing point to break someone psychologically. That being said, if I had convinced someone to put themselves in a situation like this and utterly failed to even bring a basic backpack of 'oh-crap' supplies (something that I do in general-day life, let alone situations like that) strapped securely around my torso with the little. Those weird flappy things at the end of the straps, or failed to inform someone of a set time-frame to hear from us, and then check if we haven't initiated contact, I would be LIVID if they DIDN'T push me down that tower. Alive or dead. But particularly dead, as I wouldn't have much use for my body anymore.
The decision in "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" isn't difficult if you're a good parent. Unfortunately, they were both HORRIBLE parents, but that's part of what makes the movie fun. All three of them end up competing to "prove their worth" to the father. But, in reality, I think most mothers would sacrifice themselves for their children...And most fathers would agree. Nicole Kidman's character is pure evil in that film. When she says, "We can always have more children..." Oh my God! Can you imagine being faced with the death of your child and instead of saving them, you respond with, "I can make another?" 🤯 Worst mom of the year.
And dad wasn't any better because he couldn't decide. Not that I think shooting your own spouse would be an easy thing to do, but he could have just blindfolded them and killed her to save his children. That would have been the "moral" choice, although the movie wouldn't have been nearly as interesting.
Just like the tale of Solomon asking the women if cutting a baby in half is acceptable.
You are so right. I would be Katniss “I volunteer as tribute” to save my kids. No hesitation.
I haven't seen the movie myself but couldn't he have just shot himself? I mean, he murdered his son, so, the others can live but he will likely go to jail now, so, no doctor's income for the household anymore and all.
@@seanromine3932 No, the deal was that someone in his family had to die. He was a surgeon and an alcoholic and he performed surgery, while intoxicated, on the kid's dad and ended up killing him but didn't get caught. So the kid puts a curse on him. They never explain why he has the power to do it, but the deal is that all three of the doctor's family members will die unless he decides to sacrifice one of them. At first he doesn't believe it, but when the children start developing symptoms, he realizes it's true. The final symptom before death is bleeding from the eyes, so when that happens to the son, he has to make a decision and he randomly shoots one of them. And then they all go on with their lives like a bunch of weirdos. LOL It's a really messed up but really interesting film.
Sophie's Choice anyone?
Amazing video Sean from what culture horror, fantastic job.
In the movie, The Reef, passengers on a capsized sailboat have to decide whether to a.) stay on top of a slowly sinking ship that is drifting further out to sea and hope they get rescued before the boat sinks, or b.) jump into shark infested waters and try to swim to an islet approximately 3 miles away and they cannot see but believe they can locate using the sun as a guide. To top it off, the two local expert seamen can't agree and suggest different options. Great movie, terrible situation (and based on a true story).
In Fall, I was wondered how the body falling that high off the tower would not be in literal pieces itself after the fall. That’s a lot of luck for the phone is stay intact inside. Good movie though
all the bones would be broken but humans don't explode on impact like watermelons.
Isnt the character in fall called Hunter, not Shilo
Would actually choosing to make a horrendous decision count? If yes,I would name Dani from Midsommar,having to choose the final Harga sacrifice-the voluntary cult member or her captured boyfriend.
That wasn’t a horrendous decision by that point she was happy to choose the cheat.
The cheat? He was raped. @@briansullivan5908
I think cannibalism to survive should only be frowned upon if you murder the person or take it from them in pieces without consent. Yeah.
The Donner Party
Fact: the lift operator who gets them stuck in the movie Frozen is played by Kane Hodder.
Olaf. That was a horrendous decision.
Can we admit what a beautiful pair of ladies that was in Black Water(great movie too, top horror).
no. don't be that weirdo.
@@dietotaku I am a weirdo for saying two ladies are beautiful am i. Look in the mirror pal, as you are clearly a ugly person for hating a comment like that, weirdo.
Stirling Archer had it right to be afraid of crocodiles.
So every SAW victim got it👍🏻
Cannibalism to survive is only a bad thing if a person murders to eat. If your stuck with no food and have dead bodies after an accident, like a plane crash, ship wreck that kind of thing, then it's a no brainier
It pisses me off that movies make wolves seem like a real threat. Across the United States, there's roughly 20000 North American wolves left. Comparatively, there are roughly a reported 20 million lightning strikes in the US yearly, so you're exponentially more likely to be struck by lightning than ever actually meet a wolf unless you spend A LOT of time in the barren wilderness. Not to mention, you will actually be investigated by the government should you actually fight off and kill an attacking wolf due to their endangered status because that's just how rare they've become over centuries of hunting.
Fall doesn't seem like a big deal when you're dead your body is just an empty meatbag
Agree, but still we have funerals for a reason
@@anabarbosa5453thank you I was just going to say that.
@@briansullivan5908 Only there wouldn’t be any, if the corpse had stayed up there…
@@mightybitchy you take your chances and I’ll just say no.
yes how silly of us to have emotional attachments to the faces of our loved ones
Just about everyone in a Saw movie who isn't John Kramer.
In all honesty, given the way the world is at the moment, I would just let the apocalypse happen if I was in the situation depicted in Knock At The Cabin.
Haven't and wont bother watching Kiliing of a Sacred Deer so can someone share why the mother did not offer herself up rather than allowing the possibility of her child dying? No way on earth i wouldn't step up to keep mine safe - what was the story here please?
Most of these are guaranteed death vs. something, comparatively, mildly bad at worse. These would mostly be super easy choices in the circumstances.
I don't understand why cannibalism for survival is such a big deal. Maybe it's because I'm an atheist and I think a dead body is just a dead body. When I die...Do whatever you want with me. I won't be alive to know about it. Ultimately, I would like my death to possibly help someone else, which is why I'm an organ donor, but if it means saving some starving people, that's OK too.
And I don't even eat meat! LOL The thought of eating human flesh makes me gag, but if you have to do it to survive (and the person was already dead, I'm not talking about killing them), then I have no problem with it. Like what the rugby team that crashed in the Andes did. I've never seen anything wrong with that. They did what they had to to survive and they didn't hurt anyone. Their friends were already dead. And all but one of them is still alive today, so I think they made the right decision. One of them is a very successful pediatric cardiologist who has saved countless numbers of children. The fact that he ate human flesh 50 years ago in a life or death situation is inconsequential to me.
Fellow Atheist and I 100% agree with everything you wrote. Well, I do eat meat but, otherwise, I'm completely with you. I've had some odd medical problems in my life and I've donated my body to a Medical University. When I die, I mean. Oddly, they don't want it right now. I don't blame them.🤣I'm also cool with my cats having me as a snack should I go at home and they get hungry. I'll be done with it by then so get your nosh on!! Some theists eat Jebus' body and drink his blood multiple times a week so I don't know why they get so hung up over cannibalism anyway.
Fun fact: Cannibalism isn't illegal in the U.S. If you kill someone to harvest the meat, that's a whole other matter, but if you find a carcass lying around with no indication of foul play...by the way, in the Western Hemisphere human flesh tends to taste like pork, while in the Middle East it tends more toward goat or mutton and further East, it resembles pork.
Bon Apetit!
@@caseymacmacl7463 That's a great point about the animals! I've heard people say, "Your pets will eat you if you die at home" like it's supposed to be creepy, but I think that's great. I don't want my poor dog to die of starvation.
For survival purposes, only eat people and wash it down with a nice glass of Chianti 😂
Let’s talk prion disease as a reason not to be a cannibal
Her friend is already dead and, otherwise she is guaranteed to die. How is that even a choice? Also, did they even call her Shiloh once in the movie?
The Mist
I see people saying he should have killed himself in number 1, but was that allowed? He wouldn't have to suffer if he just killed himself, defeating the purpose of what the villain was trying to do.
Jules rox
A snow storm is apocalyptic?
Hi
Holding a retriever? The "dead" guy in the Saw movie was holding a dog?
Fall was dumbest movie I had the misfortune of wasting my time watching your husband dies while you guys are climbing your best friend to help you move on takes you to a tower to climb in the middle of nowhere telling no one it was just another dumb decision after another
May be an unpopular opinion, but Cabin in the Woods was WAY more disappointing than Glass. Glass was only disappointing due to the death of certain characters. Cabin was just lame throughout (with the exception of strong performances by most of the actors).
Stop with the slobbering over Knock at the Cabin. It is not a return the anything. It isn't that good. The best part about it is the concept, which is given to us by the source material, and is done much better there.
I think that sums M Night up - great concept, questionable execution
@@tightropewalkergirl6485 Seriously, it’s like he’s trying to erase past mistakes, by making new ones each time…
The ending in the book is much more powerful and makes more sense than the ending in the film. (I've not seen the film, btw.)
It’s a horror movie, people are bound to make unusual decisions to survive. Green Room is an abomination, btw. I was so annoyed by the characters, I actually rooted for the villains. Knock at the Cabin looks horrendous as well.
I’m impressed you sited the origin of this list. The character of Catherine in Prince of Darkness.
Killing of a Sacred Deer references the story of Iphigenia, which has an excellent film version starring Irene Papas as Clytemnestra.
