Short Film: Rhyme or Die (2024)

Synopsis

Five people wake up in a “Saw”-like room, each with a collar around his or her neck. A voice comes on the loudspeaker. “Rhyme or Die! I’m your host, Dynamo.” She explains the rules. They have to go around the circle and rhyme, or else she’ll push that big button. We don’t want to know what that does.

If they refuse to play, she activates the shock collars. How far can they go?

Commentary

It’s a whole new kind of “rap battle,” this time with all the fun of “Saw.” The situation and the gore effects are really well done, although the premise of the game is a little silly.

I’m glad this one was subtitled– Dynamo was almost a little too British for me.
