Truth or Dare (2018)

Genre: Horror
Directed by: Jeff Wadlow
Cast: Lucy Hale, Tyler Posey, Violett Beane
Time: 100 minutes



A group of friends decide to travel to Mexico to spend Spring break together. While partying, one night, they get suckered into a haunted game of truth or dare with disastrous implications that will follow them home back to college.

The filmmakers here failed to make their film memorable enough to set it apart from other offerings in that genre. It is not really scary, the sadistic potential of the truth or dare game is never fully exploited; and the sexy possibilities were also left untapped. The acting was decent, but the actors and actresses were not given anything substantial to bite their teeth into. You never get to develop any kind of attachment to these characters, so, in the end, you don’t care what happens.

Overall, there were more missed opportunities than anything else here.
