Verdad o reto

I want to say this has potential. But it doesn't. I'm unsure if it was poorly written, but it was poorly acted. Production value was good.

I could go on, but seeing how this movie came out 2 years ago. I just want to say what bothered me the most was Markie was the cheater, yet she was more mad at her friend for blabbing than for her conscious choices to cheat. And her idiot boyfriend just goes along with it. He's not even upset!

No one really seemed that upset that their friend's were dying. It never seemed to affect them.

I watched it to the end. That was my choice.

If you have seen the trailer, then the movie is exactly what you would expect it to be. It's extremely average and cliched. Not a bad watch if you wanna kill some time, but I wouldn't waste your money on seeing it in the cinema.

Not as awful as expected, but still lacks a little punch. With such an inherently silly concept and considering there's no build up or dread to any of the horror moments, they'd have been better off assigning each character a gory Final Destination-esque demise, going for an R rating, and having a little more fun with everything.

A group of teens find a supernatural entity that is using a game to kill them off one by one; unless you play by the rules.

Director Jeff Wadlow is no stranger to the genre. The underrated meta-slasher Cry Wolf was a simple, yet intelligent take on PG-13 horror/thrillers. With Truth Or Dare, and Blumhouse in tow, he attempts to capture similar teenage themes of trust, denial, and the fact that your closet friend could be a liar.

What works for this film is its ever evolving sense of menace. The entity really bares down on each characters flaws. Each "kill" has relevant motivation and pushes the rating to the max. The facial effects are decent and creepy.

What works against the film are the characters. Most of them are disposable. Merely there to add death scenes and nothing more. Additionally, several scenes which could've added more to certain character arcs simply cut away to move the story along, but leave possible dramatic elements to rot to get to the "horror." The most notable negative is the cast. While not god awful, they did well considering, it was hard accommodating a bulk of the cast. Half of which were total dicks, the remaining cast holds so many secrets from each other that we wonder how they managed to be friends so long. Oh, long enough to fill an hour and a half.

If you love mostly forgettable characters, twists on familiar games, and twisted rule based supernatural thrillers like Ouija and/or Final Destination; Truth Or Dare is for you. Give it a spin. I dare you...

Despite delivering a (very) few admirable moments, Blumhouse fail to conjure up anything other than a dull execution of a story with more than enough potential. Unfortunately for TRUTH OR DARE it's not particularly clever, with a heavy dose of laughable CGI and a bland script completely void of scares or tension.
