Truth or Dare is likely to invite comparisons to a lot of other films. It takes a few cues here and there from Saw, It Follows, and Final Destination, but mostly manages to coast on an engaging cast and a story whose built-in anticipation keeps you in your seat (when you’re not jumping out of it).

The director, Jeff Wadlow, has a puppyish eagerness to impress, shock and entertain and as silly as the film might get, it’s never dull. Read full review

Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare is what happens when high concepts crash. The audience is here to watch people play a deadly game of Truth or Dare, and yet the film’s truths and dares are unremarkable, and the players are mostly boring. Read full review

The internal logic of the movie is complex, confusing, and as a result the movie is not very much fun. Read full review

The privileged protagonists of Truth or Dare are neither interesting nor likable. They don’t even seem worthy of the academic degrees they’re getting. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Apr 11, 2018

Well-paced and featuring a game cast, this is still a yawny yarn that steals outright from Hideo Nakata’s seminal "Ringu" and the more recent "It Follows," as well as several of Blum’s own prior productions. Read full review

Truth or Dare commits the cardinal sin of a film with such a stupid premise; it tries to explain the spiritual source of the game. Read full review

I don't understand why ppl hate this movie so much. I am not exaggerating when I say it has everything what a good horror/thriller movie needs. And the best par is the ending..

I am not exaggerating when I say it has everything what a good horror/thriller movie needs. And the best par is the ending.. When you're sitting in your chair watching the movie, thinking you know how it will end, you are mistaken. It has great (and some predictable) twists and turns, but hey, which movie doesn't. I can honestly say it's underrated. Although we have already seen some horror films with the same title, this one takes a step higher and is definitely a need-to-see movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Classic Party Game Gone Wrong - Worth the Watch: Everyone has played a game or 2 of Truth or Dare in their time; hopefully it never ended up like this movie. Lucy Hale plays Olivia, the beautiful, morally conscious college student. Her group of friends cancels her Habitat for Humanity spring break to force her to join them in Mexico. What could go wrong? You guessed it, they are led away from a bar to an abandoned mission building by a new friend, "Carter" and he offers up the idea to play a game of truth or dare for fun. After the game takes an emotional turn, "Carter" flees and admits to Olivia that the game is real and to follow the rules or you will die. Let the fun begin! Once back in the states, Olivia is the first to start seeing things. "Truth or Dare" appears to be written everywhere (or is it?). She heads to the library to find her friends and is surrounded by students with wicked smiles when she finally cracks. She exclaims "truth" and must reveal a secret. Unfortunately, she just yells the secret out loud and her friends are within earshot. However, the next victim of the game is not so lucky and selects "dare". When his dare is not completed, he is forced to fall off of a pool table, killing himself. Aha! The game is real, and you must follow the rules. Olivia and friends continue to take turns and unfortunately start dropping like flies. They must figure out how to end the game and stay alive. The solution is on the tip of their tongues! Did they stop the curse? Watch the movie or maybe you will think twice the next time you play the popular party game Truth or Dare!

Worst Dare: This one is hard, we're glad our dares only ended in pulling off someone's sock with our teeth, can't say the same for this version!

Worst Love Triangle - I like you but I don't love you, ouch that hurts. Don't worry Olivia, we're team Ezria anyway.

Best smile - or should we say creepiest - Calax the demon; stealing the faces of millions of unknowing souls. Overall Grade: A-… Expand

I thoroughly regret watching this, my friends told me it isn't worth the time. I should have listened to them. Seems that the first 15 to 20 minutes of the movie doesn't have any point at all, the killing is boring for a movie like this. The plot doesn't make sense at times.

Even for it's genre it's still terrible. Relies os cheap jump scares, and the script is all over the place, so many inconsistencies with the characters.

Killing characters for the sake of it, will not make the movie better, maybe try and make know the character that is about to be killed off.

An incredibly bad movie, The script and narrative are so convoluted and thrown together that it almost doesn't make sense. The characters all suck, the ones that are even remotely likable die and most of the actors don't even look like the right age to be college students.

Mais ça manque de morts violentes, ça manque de sadisme (cf SAW), ça manque de gore et ça manque de morts bien ridicules, celles qui faisaient le sel et l'amusement des Destinations Finales... Je serai tenté de dire qu'on ne s'ennuie pas trop mais ce ne serait pas la vérité... alors action ou vérité ? Vérité : on décroche rapidement malgré toute la bonne volonté du monde. Action : arrête le visionnage sous peine d'abrutissement total !

Film pour ados et adulescents complètement raté donc, inspiré d'un "jeu" (?) à l'origine complètement idiot pour jeunes amerloques très imbibés.… Expand
