“Cheap Thrills” is a sick and twisted film, ideal for a sick and twisted
age. It asks the eternal question: how far would you go for a pile of
cash? Would you hurt somebody? Would you hurt yourself? It’s a tempting
quandary in a slow but satisfying dark comedy that hits all the required
notes of shock and disgust before finding a surprisingly fulfilling
ending. Credit director E.L. Katz and screenwriters David Chirchirillo
and Trent Haaga for sticking to their guns, plunging deep into the
illness of these characters as they accept and deliver humiliation and
pain, treating the results as a party favor until it reaches the point
of no return.
