Apr 13, 2018 · Truth or Dare. "Blumhouse's Truth or Dare" is the "Showgirls" of post-"Scream" slasher movies: it's not campy nor emotionally involving enough to be more than the sum of its ungainly parts. This is a PG-13-rated horror movie where college seniors are persecuted by a haunted version of Truth or Date, a party game that's more menacing than ...

If you think about it, there are a lot of scary things about the game of Truth or Dare. It’s a party activity that forces people to admit unpleasant truths, or to do outlandish things, but if you’re doing it with the right group of people, it can be a healthy way to process our personal anxieties and inhibitions. With the wrong group of people, however, it can be a horrible form of peer pressure, which forces us to reveal personal shames and potentially even endanger ourselves in more ways than one.
So it makes sense to turn Truth or Dare into a horror film, but it does not make sense to turn it into Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare, a movie which is easily the silliest of its kind since Friend Request. Jeff Wadlow’s film bends over backwards to make its high-concept plot, about a haunted game of Truth or Dare, make sense on paper, but the film gets so hung up on how a game could be haunted it completely fails to make us care about who’s playing it.
Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare stars Lucy Hale as Olivia, a college student who was totally going to spend her spring break building houses for Habitat for Humanity, but whose best friend Markie (Violet Beane) convinces her to party in Mexico instead. They’re joined by a whole bunch of best friends, but the movie seems to know that they’re only fodder, so they mostly just get isolated character traits like “party guy,” “drinker,” “drug dealer,” and “gay guy with conservative father.”
Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare is what happens when high concepts crash. The audience is here to watch people play a deadly game of Truth or Dare, and yet the film’s truths and dares are unremarkable, and the players are mostly boring. What’s worse, the film spends most of its time trying to explain why a haunted game of Truth or Dare makes perfect sens...
