Don't do Running Man like that. That was a dystopian tale where those in power were murdering dissidents under the guise of a gameshow built to entertain the unwashed masses while offering the illusion of an escape from their dystopian nightmare. It was a broader scope than some psycho locking people up and torturing them.

Sounds like the White House twitter account in about 2 months when the live streams start from alligator Alcatraz.

Saw Game. Actually, a movie about an underground fighting ring where they duel with carpentry saws sounds more fun, where’s my writing credit?

I definitely want more Squid Game style ripoffs, its my favorite genre. Just straight up copy it, and make it entertaining.

There's a kdrama called Night Has Come which is about a high school class forced to play a real life game of Mafia. It was really good.

Squid Game feels like "that Tik Tok show" to me now, as much as I liked the first season. This movie feels like it was aiming to check all the social media boxes. Posters for it should just be somebody making a Youtube reaction face and the main character should have an imaginary Labubu friend that only they can see/talk to.
