Watched this last night, while looking for the 2018 version, hoping this would extremely suck... But it surprised me. I was enjoying it, as the movie was getting darker , but why did they have to end it like that? That ending got me so angry that I have to give it a 4, totally ruined it.

This was a good movie until the ending. Left with questions and no real resolution.

I stumbled across this movie on YouTube, thinking it was the Blumhouse movie of the same title. When I saw it was a SyFy movie instead, I continued watching out of curiosity, and was pleasantly surprised! Since this was a SyFy film, I wasn't expecting much, but it kept me engaged and entertained. The deaths were pretty good for a tv budget, and I enjoyed seeing Heather Langenkamp in a small role. Give it a watch!

The ending was seriously garbage I have never written a review but I was so mad about everything being unanswered and the ending being that terrible I had to write this.. that was the worst ending to a movie I have ever seen!

Movie should be called Dare because that's all that happens, never know whose turn it actually is & every date is a death sentence pretty much & the acting sucks...

Another case of similar titles. Normally I avoid syfy channel films, but I saw this cos of the title. Truth or dare (2011) was a decent thriller without any supernatural stuff. Truth or dare (2018), a bug budget, good horror film. This version has some good kills but the ending was lame.

For a made-for-Syfy movie, Truth or Dare was much better than the channel's usual fare. The film was actually somewhat scary and gory, the story a much more solid one, and the acting and directing far above the norm. It's by no means a masterpiece, but on the whole it holds together consistently throughout and is pretty enjoyable. 7/10

"Good", "A treat", "Enjoyable". What is wrong with you people? There have been a total of five movies released in the last 5 years with the same title. If you want to watch a horror movie with 'truth or dare' as a plot, make sure it isn't this one.

Not only is the plot as old as the game itself, but it is nonsensical. Lazy writers just use every gory trick in the book, and none very well. And don't even get me started on the stupid ending which makes no sense and leaves the viewer hanging.

A total waste of time, but worth watching just to come back and read the reviews here praising this garbage. That is the worst horror of all.

RELEASED IN 2017 and directed by Nick Simon, "Truth or Dare" concerns eight college students who decide to party overnight at a house where several similar youths died under mysterious circumstances in 1983. Some kind of malevolent entity linked to the house forces them to play three rounds of 'Truth or Dare,' with each round upping the ante. Will any of them survive?

While "Truth or Dare" begins as a haunted house flick, it branches out after the first act. In other words, the youths aren't stuck in the house the entire movie. This is good because a one-dimensional setting like that can be challenging to pull off for filmmakers, as well as tedious to sit through for viewers (but 2017's "House of the Witch" surprisingly pulled off the challenge).

The first 15 minutes or so are kinda fun due to the party element, but things quickly take a dark, serious turn. The mostly no-name cast is effective with Cassie Scerbo standing out as the main protagonist; she's not so no-name, of course, and the movie doesn't fail to highlight her beauty (and I'm not tawkin' 'bout nudity). Alexxis Lemire & Christina Masterson are also notable in the female department, as is Taylor Lyons in the prologue.

The story is deeper than it first appears, as an interesting psychological element is eventually introduced. If you like austere TV-budget horror akin to "House of the Witch" mixed with "From Within" (2008), you'll appreciate "Truth or Dare," but be forewarned: The second half becomes increasingly painful to watch due to the "Hostel"-like 'dares' the kids must face. These parts aren't entertaining in the least, but they're gripping. And the actors are convincing.

THE MOVIE RUNS about 89 minutes and was shot in the Eastern USA (no info on the exact town/state). WRITERS: Thommy Hutson & Ethan Lawrence. ADDITIONAL CAST: Heather Langenkamp from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" fame has a small role.

GRADE: B

If the film had been released in theaters with some minor changes, it could have been more effective than the others with the same name. Among the others, I think it's the best I've seen so far. The characters struggle to be believable. It is obvious that they are doing their best to achieve this. Sometimes it's better to keep expectations low and focus on the movie. Of course, the production would have been better if the ending had been a little more descriptive and included truthfulness as well as courage. Still, it's good for a TV movie and may please fans of the genre a bit. Scenes with brutal content leave an impact. This is the most shocking part of the movie.

Some of you people are way too over critical. I get this isnt a great movie, but good god sone you act like it ruined you for life and you're scared from it. Take it for what it is and stop over analyzing everything. Or go write, cast, direct, and produce your own movie.

I'm actually surprised at the bad reviews. this was reallly good for a syfy original and it doesn't have any CGI sea creatures (there are CGI bugs but just in or part). honestly it was pretty nasty at some parts and the people react pretty realisticallly in my opinion. i will say that after th first half hour it starts to feel a little long, then you're with it again, then it drags a bit, and then th end kinda ropes you back in. i'm not mad at the ending tho. annd there ya go. fun movie. not the best. but was exactly what i wanted when i watched it, which was just a fun engaging teen horror flick that was easy to digest.

Wtf movie is this? There were no truths, it was all dares. And how where they suppose to "share" dares? One of the dares was to get run over by a car? Then the car wouldn't start, so the demon's like, "Ope, lemme just start the car and kill you myself."

And the last dare is, "kill her?" How TF do you share that? Dumb movie, dumb writing, dumb plot that doesn't explain anything. The 2018 version is somewhat better.
