Truth or Dare (2017)
Garbage- absolute trash (spoilers in here, my bad)
So I was looking for the 2018 version of Truth or Dare and ran into this ridiculousness... I'm not usually the type to leave a review, but I'm so appalled by how atrociously bad this movie is that i was compelled- stirred in my spirit, if you will, to leave a review.
I'll admit it, the movie was acceptable up until the robbery scene. Like I was good and enjoying it and then it got really stupid really fast! Like, NO ONE thinks in this stupid of a manner. You can't even start to rationalize the stupidity. If you turn your head and you're all of a sudden staring down the barrel of a shot gun, regardless of the circumstance, are you going to make any suddenly movements? Like at that point, the writers should've let the game kill the guy.
Then the idea that they were going to waltz into the house and "outsmart" the game with TERRIBLE logic, and then kill the doctor because THAT makes a lot of sense! Like the thought was to manipulate the game by what is NOT specified in the directions, right? You need the doctor to revive people, stupid and ANYONE would think that way ESPECIALLY in this kind of situation!!! Also, Russian roulette is also played with knives around the fingers, so why are they holding a loading gun up to their heads? That's not smart; you can live without a hand or a foot, but not a brain - the doctor would know that better than anyone! I would've even been more accepting if the doc grabbed the gun, shot through his own hand and hit the major artery in the thigh of another person and that person bled out and died- ok, accidental death. But then these two girls proceed to cut off an earlobe after receiving instructions that's WHOLE living body parts need to be removed. Aren't they college kids?!?!? Simple math - between two people 7 whole, living body parts need to be removed; well, there are at least 40 between them (20 fingers, 20 toes- each one whole and living...), so who would be like "I'll chop off your leg," because that makes sense?!?!?!?!?
I don't know why I even watch horror movies anymore when this is the kind of garbage that's being fed to me... Something that the classics have over ALL these dumb modern horror movies- EVERYTHING made sense. Nightmare on Elm Street- these people can't help falling asleep it's a natural response, and why is it happening? Because it's a vengeful spirit. Boom nicely wrapped up with a pretty bow. Chucky- Voodoo spirit of a freaking serial killer in a child's toy and children are easily manipulated, and why is it happening? Because serial killers don't need a reason to kill people (I know he wants a human body and second chance to live yada yada). Nicely wrapped up with a sparkly bow.
Truth or dare- umm Some kind of Evil spirit maybe (Definitely not clear), and why is it happening? Because maybe people should be possibly overly harshly punished for their sins?!?! Or "because we opened the door," or "because we have fears and weakness etc."
Trash, all out trash- throw it away!
