If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Great Film overall
Do yourself a favor and don't watch this. You can thank me later.
Finally truth or dare isn't so bad as I thought when I saw the trailer.For sure its a classic film for teenagers with a little stupid concept but the rhythm of the film an some polt twists works well so you will stay curious till the end.
Looking forward to seeing how this game would be interpreted in film, but within minutes letdown by the formula approach (i.e. cheap hooks used many times in past films). We start w/male female mix of 20 yr olds who of course all jump in a car (scenes of loading car & driving on road - zzzzz!), and head for a spring break (zzzzz!). Of course there's some romantic tension; there's a, waiting to take revenge/infect, spirit in some creepy old house (house in it's brief appearance seemed CGI created); there's cryptic writing; oddly there are some nice clean chairs and electricity in this remote abandoned spooky house. Then there is the redundant overload of partying, drinking, dancing, music, and lots of "bro" talk. Of course, the ever present horror cheapie of contact lenses or CGI horror eyes. Finally, not a surprise, people die over the span of allowed film time, and ends with the typical ... Acting, dialogue, props, sets, effects on par w/rating.
This movie's banal and uncompelling plot was a big cleche from start to finish, and the boring "jump scares" along with the characters and special effects didn't help; albeit, this movie isn't a total train wreck mostly thanks to the actors and the unpredictability of "who was next" and the contents of the dares, but it still is another one of those low budget, random and again, banal movies that are easily forgotten and are only good for young and mainstream audiences looking for a little scare, but even they would be disappointed.
