Watch Truth or Dare For Free

Purely Joyful Movie!

I'll tell you why so serious

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

My quick rating 5,5/10. This is a revenge flick that definitely goes that extra mile to focus on the back story as much as the torture of the participants. The youths think they are going to a party for some kid they made fun of (hey, morons, why were you invited again?) and of course, revenge is on the menu. But the subtle twists in this movie make it stand out(especially towards the end). The acting of the kids (young adults, whatever) was surprisingly good but part of me thinks they were just being themselves, not acting (which is fine). The scares are minimal as this is much more psychological thriller in nature. Te payoff ends up being worth the trip (95min). As in most horror movies these days, the male dominant bad guy tends to get real clumsy and forgets how to fight (considering he was military, this seems a bit strange) but doesn't deter much from the film. It seems with all the recycled horror there is, movies such as this have a hard time standing out since they are good, but just can't make any leap above what has already been done. Enjoyable nonetheless.

Director Robert Heath delivers a stunning character study within the horror film format and he does so with unequaled artistry and complete aplomb. A truly talented cast does remarkable work in delivering some power house performances, with Florence Hall sparkling like a super nova in what should be a break-out acting turn of incredible power. The tension is overwhelming as the story progresses but it's the insights regarding the nature of humanity and whether evil predominates that truly mesmerizes. Shocking in parts and even repellent at times, these elements are never gratuitous and always propel the film. The ultimate scene is a climax of such intensity that it must be viewed to be believed. This is an important film, one that in fact needed to be made, and one that deserves to be widely seen in a worldwide re-release.

5.6 stars? Really? I don't see it. The writing is simply bad. The young actors were all incredibly good in this rather ridiculous torture porn/revenge genre flick. The list of idiotic movie decisions is just too long. The acting actually made the glaringly bad calls seem even less plausible. I did find a new love however, Florence Hall is ethereal. She is the highpoint of the film and I lost all interest when she left the story. There is a forced and unnatural trend in all movies today but especially horror to shock even at the expense of the story that I find very irritating. It takes me right out of the movie and all I get is a mental picture of two turbo nerds high fiving each other over the oh, so, big 'shocker' they just delivered and taking a break to pound Red Bulls and play PS4. This contrived end to one of the characters was then called out to the degree of jagoffness by the bad guy taking the body that was in a totally different location and driving it back to where the others were. Why? Too many F-ing Red Bulls, that's why. What makes this a worse failure is it had all the makings of a great suspense film. It had me engaged until the stupid factor got too great and then it was just playing in the background while I went back to work. I will look for Florence Hall and the rest of the cast in upcoming movies, though, so that's a good thing.

Spoiler alert. Good film. All the characters are deeply unlikeable, and actually you are not that fussed about them dying. You're actually on the side of the psycho for a while. One thing that has been mentioned is why someone looks up the police emergency on the net. I think it's actually supposed to be that there is no phone line only internet so she is trying to alert police that way. The part that unsettles and what I object to, is why does the rapist not get her just desserts? She basically rapes two blokes or rather forces one to rape the other.... Would have been happier if it was long suffering boyfriend only that survived. The storyline is quite good, would have benefited from better more engaging actors. Good to pass the time but don't base your night around it.
