Truth or Dare (2017 TV Movie)
4/10
"Final Destination" meets "Jumanji"
9 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Take this with a grain of salt, as "Truth or Dare" was clearly not produced with aspirations of becoming some iconic horror flick. No, this movie is like over-buttered popcorn -- it doesn't taste all that bad until you finish the bucket, at which point you want to puke and wonder why you didn't just stick with a pack of Twizzlers.

A group of college-age-somethings go to a haunted house to play a game of truth or dare. Turns out the house was the setting for a particularly violent game of truth or dare some 30 years prior, during which all but one participant died. As the friends start their own game, a mysterious spirit forces them through a bunch of either disgusting and/or deadly dares until they start getting bumped off one by one.

Though the actors do their best with some pretty cruddy material, the various dares they have to endure are pretty ridiculous, from eating charred flesh to drinking poison. Explanations about the mystery spirit are absent and the characters are pretty stereotypical, so you never really feel attached to the story. Not a horrible viewing on a rainy October night, but there are far better horror flicks out there.
