Storyline:
Turning innocent childhood games into horror tales comes too
easy, twisting our youth into something gruesome. So harmless right?
Truth or Dare: The bottle lands on you, and the player either incurs
embarrassment created by another player or surrenders a long held
secret. So, to mess with your memories, Robert Heath introduced the
aspect of death into your favorite sleepover game, penned by Matthew
McGuchan. Truth 0r Dare draws upon torture horror clichés to
further an avoidable plot, while young British lives hang in the
balance. To start, house music kicked in during a party scene and all I
could think about was “here comes another Demons Never Die….” Well, Natobomb wasn’t far off. Just like Demons Never Die, Truth or Dare offers
moments of horror excitement while blending in migrane causing plot
flaws enough to drive a viewer insane. My favorite part of Heath’s
horror? Jennie Jacques. Watch out for this budding British scream
queen, dubbed 100% my new celebrity crush as she continues climbing the
ranks of female horror actresses in the now such as Danielle Harris and
Sheri Moon Zombie. But sadly, there exists a film outside
of watching Jacques, which is begging for some scrutiny. Sorry Robert,
but you’ll probably want a dare option over hearing this hard truth.
At a wild University party, four friends plan to end their semester
on a high note. Paul (Boyle), Chris (Gordon), Eleanor (Jacques), and
Gemma (Hall) mix with dealer Luke (Vlahos) to “enhance” their experience
(well, the guys at least), and a good time is had by all. Except
socially awkward loner Felix (Kane) that is. In true love triangle
fashion Felix lusts for Gemma, but Gemma dates typical dick Chris.
Finally building up the confidence with a little help from Luke, Felix
spills his feels to the blonde sweetheart but to no avail. Gemma
lightly lets him down, keeping him in good spirits and treating him with
respect. Then Eleanor pulls out an empty bottle and starts a rousing
game of truth or dare with the entire party. On Felix’s turn, the timid
boy obviously selects truth. Eleanor’s truth involves Felix picking
one girl at the party he would choose to be with for a night, and of
course he ends up picking Gemma. Chris doesn’t take too kindly to the
advance, and sucker punches Felix in front of all. Well, fast forward
to after break and the friends are invited to Felix’s wealthy estate for
a birthday party. Greeted by his brother Justin (Oakes), he reveals
Felix missed his flight home from Chile and simply forgot to cancel with
them. Offering free food and booze, Justin insists a party still be
had. And then he takes out that fateful bottle, starting a game of
truth or dare no player will likely forget…
Truth or Dare strives to challenge the confines of tortue
horror with fresh presentation, but leaves cavernous gaps throughout
scripting. I don’t do this often, but spoilers are going to follow as
these details have to be shed from my chest. The mad genius
orchestrating chaos (Justin) is an expertly trained British soldier who
survived three tours in Afghanistan (I believe), yet can be wrestled
down by a lowly drug dealer? He also trusts one of the characters
(Luke) who arrives with the slew of victims as his little patsy, even
presenting him with a firing arm which Luke is capable of using to free
his “friends” at any time? Some pretty serious flaws from the mind of a
military tactical genius. Luke is what we like to call a liability,
something a true revenge bent psychopath would not tolerate. Oh and
while we’re on Luke, and given the information discovered by those who
have indulged cinematically already, why the hell wasn’t Luke knocking
Justin off and bolting? He cradled a gun with three rounds placed at
random, so I understand the mentality he has a 50/50 shot of catching
the right chamber. But how many times did Justin leave him alone? Why
was Luke not opening the weapon to reveal where the bullets lay? Justin
may have been a war machine, but impervious to a headshot he is not.
The whole dynamic between Justin and Luke bugged me itself, enough so I
could even let Gemma’s antics slide after she bolts. Truth or Dare
was written without much attention being paid to either word, relying
too heavily on situation mentalities and providing no focus for the
character’s big survival picture.
Performances entertained more than expected cast wise though, which
was a pleasant surprise. Already established is my praise for Jenny
Jacques, and Eleanor played to a broader spectrum than just the ditzy
damsel in distress. No, Eleanor goes from suspected side character to
devious survivor girl on the flick of a switch. Jacques dives into some
creepy territory towards Truth or Dare’s climax, turning
Eleanor into McGuchan’s most interestingly crafted character. Not to
mention there’s an unsettling evil glint in Jacques’s eye, which works
perfectly towards Eleanor’s always changing demeanor. David Oakes
played the part of remorseless older brother well at least, even if his
character writing was flawed. Same goes for Alexander Vlahos in his
portrayal of Luke. The rest were just pawns in Justin’s sick game, but
acting prevented Truth or Dare from falling into the “sh$tty story, sh*tty acting, sh%tty movie” category. Somewhat.
Truth: Yet another horror movie that underperforms due to
shoddy plot-lines. Dare: Argue Heath’s latest effort is the “next big
thing.” I don’t know, maybe because of all the horror films I cram in
my skull my expectations are only rising. Sure, Truth or Dare holds
some fun horror moments, but nothing gasp worthy. Some pools of blood,
a dead body here or there…another walk in the park. Not to mention
audience members will be five steps ahead of the script, offering no big
reveal as the film twists and turns. Maybe not to the degree Heath
takes it, but blatant foreshadowing generally prevents any suspenseful
present to be unwrapped. Childish fun with regrettable consequences,
just like playing Truth or Dare in real life.
Final Rating: 5 truths for every one dare anyway out of 10
Going to assume that one was a dare…..
