The Odds sits alongside movies like Buried and Elevator which have a set of characters (or character) in one small setting for the entirety of the movie. In The Odds we see a man and woman sat opposite each other at a table in a small room from pretty much the first minute to the last.
I actually like these types of movies. Having that singular setting and a limited amount of characters means that the film has to rely on great performances and/or a great script if it wants to excel. The characters here are sat at the table to play a game. Well, at least one of them, the woman. She is hoping to win $1 million dollars in a pain endurance ‘game’ that is being filmed seemingly for people to put bets on.

"You ready to play?" 4Digital Media has debuted a trailer for indie horror-thriller The Odds, which played at numerous small film festivals last year including Raindance and the New York City International Film Festival (Nyciff). From writer/director Bob Giordano making his feature directorial debut, this contained psychological horror film is about a woman who signs up to participate in an underground game of pain endurance in hopes of winning the million dollar prize. She soon learns the real opponent is the man who's running the game, as he employs horrific methods to manipulate and defeat her. Starring Abbi Butler as "The Player", and James J. Fuertes as the "Game Master". This looks brutal as hell, but I guess that's the point. This kind of torturous cinema isn't for everyone, but horror fans should get a kick out of it. Let's play. Here's the official trailer (+ new poster) for Bob Giordano's The Odds,...
