Cheap Thrills Launches Share to Dare Challenge; Now on VOD! Today marks the VOD release of E.L. Katz’ Cheap Thrills, and to celebrate Drafthouse Films has launched a fun “Share to Dare” challenge, which allows you – yes, you – the ability to make the film’s cast and crew perform outrageous stunts and engage in ridiculous acts.

How it works is that you share the film’s official website on Twitter, using the hashtag #CheapThrills, and when a certain number of shares are calculated, stars Ethan Embry and Pat Healy, along with others, will have no other choice but to do the silly things you’re encouraging them to do.

And yes, video and photographic evidence will be provided.

Here’s a rundown of the dares you can vote for them to take part in!

Nude Bearskin Rug Photo: Just like Burt Reynolds.

Shoe Shot: Drink a shot out of the shoe you are wearing.

Self-Impersonation: Ethan Embry does an impersonation of himself from Empire Records.

Mice Junk: Put live mice in your briefs.

Kissing Your Elders: Make out with a senior citizen.

Tug of War: Nipple tug of war with clothespins.

Find Furry Love: OKCupid account with real picture/info, but listed as a furry and a brony.

Pees In the Pants: Drink beer with no bathroom break until someone pees their pants.

Porn with the Parents: Watch “adult videos” with your parents.

Bottle of A1: Drink a bottle of A1 Steak Sauce.

You can also vote by clicking the “Share to Dare” button on the Cheap Thrills website!

The acclaimed comic thriller Cheap Thrills is now available exclusively on the Movies On Demand platform of Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Cox Communications, and Bright House Networks cable systems, prior to its March 21st theatrical and digital VOD release. Cheap Thrills joins a select few titles to receive pre-theatrical debuts exclusively on cable.

The directorial debut from E.L. Katz, Cheap Thrills was acquired by Drafthouse Films, in partnership with Snoot Entertainment, following its world premiere at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival, where it won the “Midnighters Audience Award.” Cinedigm holds the home entertainment distribution rights, including DVD, Blu-ray, VOD, and digital platforms.

Synopsis
Cheap Thrills follows Craig (Pat Healy), a struggling family man who loses his low-wage job and is threatened with eviction. In an effort to delay facing the music at home, he heads to a local bar and encounters an old friend (Ethan Embry). The two friends are roped into a round of drinks by a charismatic and obscenely wealthy stranger (David Koechner) along with his mysterious wife (Sara Paxton). The couple engages the two friends in a series of innocent dares in exchange for money over the course of the evening, with each challenge upping the ante in both reward and boundaries. It seems like easy and much needed money, but the couple’s twisted sense of humor pushes just how far Craig and his friend are willing to go for money and cheap thrills.
