#FAMILY SOUGHT SAY. REVENGE TORMENTOR. THEY FREE#
Now, all the key players of this humiliating moment receive an invitation for Felix' birthday party at his parent's secluded country estate, and since they're a bunch of sleazy British teenagers always in search of free booze, they all decide to accept.
#FAMILY SOUGHT SAY. REVENGE TORMENTOR. THEY FULL#
Several months ago, during a graduation party full of sex and drug-abuse, the timid and introvert Felix unsuccessfully declared his love to the cute blond Gemma whilst playing a spin-the- bottle/truth or dare game and got into a fight with her macho boyfriend Chris.
That pretty much summarizes "Truth or Dare" unoriginal, unmemorable and predictable from start to finish, but nonetheless entertaining. A certain time later, he himself or a traumatized family member goes on a vengeful killing spree to punish all the wrongdoers. Surely we all love to remember those typically clichéd and nasty slashers in which the geekiest kid in school, preferably on prom night or during any random party night, is publicly humiliated (or even killed) during a banal prank that horribly runs out of hand. There's a neat portion of 80's nostalgia to enjoy in this modest horror production by the British director Robert Heath.
A handful of decent turns by the other actors (Jennie Jacques, Jack Gordon, Florence Hall), some gruesome set-pieces that don't go over the top with depictions of torture, and a twist ending that works are all features that help make this a film that rises above genre standards to offer suspenseful, thrilling entertainment. The story feels fresh and the characters drawn from real life better still, I was so engaged in what I was watching that I wanted to find out what happened next. This is essentially a 'one room' thriller which keeps you guessing as to the fates of the central characters and indeed has you on the edge of your seat throughout. To this end, he invites a group of schoolmates to a rural shack to begin a deadly game of truth or dare. Standing head and shoulders above the other cast members is David Oakes (THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH), playing an ex-soldier determined to find out the truth behind his brother's suicide. Although the general set-up of the film is based on a SAW-style premise, the film works thanks to an inventive script, some well-drawn characters and top acting. A surprisingly decent low budget horror/thriller combo.
