Vérité ou conséquence

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.

This movie isn't great but I was entertained for most of it because it was so stupid it was funny. There were parts how ever where I would check how long was left and think 'you are kidding me it feels like iv been watching it for 3 hours'.

I thought it would be worse than it was due to the fact I watched Fantasy Island first and hated it and this movie was both written and directed by the same people so I didn't have much hope. It did however suffer from the same issue as Fantasy Island like bad dialogue. I'm telling you this group of writers write like they are making a sitcom. If you put laugh tracks under some of the one liners that characters says you would have a sitcom. An unfunny sitcom but still. I also feel like they are tone deaf when it comes to like 'young people' today, they just go for archetypal character E.g Nerd, Bro, Good Girl ect and then add like random pop culture buzz words.

The CGI/Snapchat filter that they pasted over people's face in this movie was hilarious but it wasn't meant to be and what confuses me even more is one of the characters literally says "it looks like a Snapchat filter". So this was a conscious choice to make it look like this. Why?? It looks stupid and not scary at all.

Even though I feel like iv been quite harsh to it I would say watch it. Like it's a bad movie but if you like bad movies that you can laugh at then you should watch it, I feel like you'd have a good time.

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...

You have to know a horror movie based on a teenage sleepover game has to be viewed with the right frame of mind. Those expecting the tense seriousness of Se7en are going to be disappointed. But viewed in the right light, this movie is actually not too bad.

The basic premise is a group of friends are lured to an old church where a guy they just met suggests they play the game. This traps them into a neverending game of Truth or Dare in which the stakes seem to get higher and higher. The group slowly gets picked off while our main characters try to solve this puzzle.

One of the things that I really enjoyed about this movie was the depth of character. There wasnt a load of backstories, but there was enough to flesh these kids out so they were more than butcher meat. You find out pretty fast that Markeys dad committed suicide but the cause of that isnt revealed till much later and it is done in a way that piques the watchers interest. If I had to pic my main negative, it would be the droopy faced snapchat filter that appears over the faces of the people the demon temporarily possesses. I felt this was kind of lazy. It would have been better if they glossed their eyes black or something.

Overall, not a bad movie. I found myself not wanting to walk away towards the end because I wanted to see how it wrapped up.
