A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Nothing is really good, neither the acting, nor the plot, but you have fun with all the tasks in the game Truth or Dare. A suitable movie for a pizza night
Having survived multiple Sharknadoes, Cassandra Scerbo plays truth or dare with her college buddies in a haunted house controlled by a wicked demon with deadly results. Scerbo is introduced first setting her up to be....."The Final Girl." This is not the worst film out there. It isn't great horror, but seems like it would satisfy a teen audience as opposed to a seasoned horror film viewer. Made for SyFy, so no swearing, sex, or nudity. Cute girls showing leg.
Preparing for a Halloween party, a group of college friends renting out a mansion finds themselves forced into playing a demented game or truth-or-dare in the house that continues to torment them once they leave and must stop the cycle of violence committed against them.Overall, this one wasn't that bad of an effort. One of the better elements present is the fact that this one goes for a much different and more engaging form of the haunted house tropes. Rather than relying on things going bump in the night and having objects come to life against them, this one tries the rather ingenious ruse of involving the classic game for its setup which results in a rather fun and exciting time here. The way this is inverted in the first half with the turnover from their party shenanigans to the more torturous antics gives this a dark and chilling atmosphere that gets played up rather nicely once these dares start getting brought out. From the time in the house where it starts off with burning themselves to trying to survive electrocution and other intense measures, this one has a great time doling out their punishment in the form of what seems like genuine accidents when they do end up going sour which is exactly what makes the games so dark and thrilling. Since it involves them escaping and then coming into contact with them outside the house, the fun of these scenes is ramped up by the need to feature these as accidents which leaves them just as fun as before. The finale back in the house is full of dark and twisted games which manage quite a lot of sick outcomes to their plight as they attempt to outwit the game only for the tables to keep getting turned in rather fun manners. These here really make this one a lot of fun while holding it up rather nicely over the few minor flaws found here. The main issue is one that's brought up openly in the film where it seems to be a rather weak motivation for the house to behave in this manner which is spelled out in the film proper here. The main genesis of why the group at the house even falls victim to the curse inside is quite bizarre as there's nothing said here about why they're even at the house to fall victim so it manages to leave this one on several confusing notes. As well, the fact that this one lets them escape from the confines of the house and get out only to have to go back later is somewhat of a cheat that makes no sense, as the group staying trapped inside and forced to deal with the situation in that location is a bit odd to occur here. These few issues do lower this one somewhat.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.
For a made-for-Syfy movie, Truth or Dare was much better than the channel's usual fare. The film was actually somewhat scary and gory, the story a much more solid one, and the acting and directing far above the norm. It's by no means a masterpiece, but on the whole it holds together consistently throughout and is pretty enjoyable. 7/10
