Marina Antunes [Celluloid 01.04.18] horror



Ah, Blumhouse. I was wondering when we'd see the first offering of the year from the mega horror production house and it looks like the culprit this year will be Truth or Dare which, rather sadly, looks more in line with the mediocre horror the studio tends to produce than with Get Out.


The movie, directed by Jeff Wadlow of Kick-Ass 2 notoriety, stars TV stars Lucy Hale ("Pretty Little Liars") as Olivia and Tyler Posey ("Teen Wolf") as Lucas, friends who play a game of truth or dare while on vacation in Mexico only to find that the game is a murderous curse which has followed them home: if you don't complete the truth or dare, you die.



Both Hale and Posey have a rather fervent fan following so Truth or Dare is likely to play well with the teen movie crowd but for the most part, it looks like just another forgettable horror movie.


I will say, the slightly-CG-augmented smile that comes over the character's faces just before they die is a little unsettling.


Truth or Dare opens April 27.



Recommended Release: House of Wax
