Jeff Wadlow directs Lucy Hale, Violett Beane and Tyler Posey in this teen horror about students pursued by a curse that manifests itself in the standard drinking game.
Drag Me to Hell. Ringu. Hell even… Final Destination. They’ve all done deadly curses better than this. Truth or Dare suffers from bland leads and a supernatural trap that gives them way, way too much room to manoeuvre – at best it often just inconveniently interrupts their soapy interactions. It is glossy, harmless filler with a resolution that is intended to be a global epidemic expanding cliffhanger but comes across as a middle-aged man trying to write up a hip way these kids would use their apps to defeat the demon. Some better kills or spunkier leads might have saved this from being forgettable formulaic fluff.
