I can see why the story itself won The Poe Contest. Almost a character-study that could have been much more engaging. All in all, I found the film entertaining enough to watch through to the end and thought the ending was rewarding, although very unrealistic. I also thought there were a lot of very rookie filmmaking mistakes, like the clean loose bandages (and suddenly dirty in one scene) and the Player's shirt was wet in one area then suddenly in a completely different area. There was simply not enough anticipation or emotion to make the long moments rewarding. She lacks either the emotion of someone being tortured nor the stoic demeanor of someone prepared to endure what may come. And after agreeing to play the game, she then questions everything as if she is being held captive. The Player was just not someone we could connect with.

It's not really a horror film, more of a psychological thriller. Other than that, they have nothing in common. The only vaguely similar thread is that the victim must complete a series of tasks that continue to be more difficult. The performances are excellent, and the conclusion is predictable. Although the theatrical film with basically only one location, the movie is engaging and keeps the attention of the viewer. Who will win? 'The Odds' is an extremely low-budget film, with a tense and sick story of torture.

Along the rounds, the woman observes the sick behavior of the facilitator and questions the game. The woman accepts the rules and the tense torture game begins. Then there is one last round that must be played until one player survives. The game is composed by five initial rounds, where the players may quit, and will only proceed when three players leave the game. In accordance with his information, there is a total of twenty players around the world. She stays alone in a room with a facilitator (James J.

A single mother (Abbi Butler) joins a sick game expecting to win an one-million-dollar prize.
