Olivia, Lucas and a group of their college friends travel to Mexico for one last getaway before graduation. While there, a stranger convinces one of the students to play a seemingly harmless game of truth or dare with the others. Once the game starts, it awakens something evil -- a demon which forces the friends to share dark secrets and confront their deepest fears. The rules are simple but wicked -- tell the truth or die, do the dare or die, and if you stop playing, you die.

Critics Consensus

Truth or Dare's slick presentation isn't enough to make this mediocre horror outing much more frightening than an average round of the real-life game.

Chicago Reader

They die in fairly routine accidents that make you long for the slapstick ingenuity of the Final Destination franchise, still a high-water mark in teen-elimination films.

Film Companion

What could have been twisted and juicy is just a crashing bore.

Rated: 1/5

Collider Video

There are some sloppy rules and failed emotional beats, but if you're a genre fan watching Truth or Dare for the clever concept and inventive kill scenes, there's some fun to be had with this Blumhouse release.

Rated: 6/10

The big problem of the film is its lack of corrosive mood or the slightest destabilizing element. [Full Review in Spanish]

Ready Steady Cut

Truth or Dare is a supernatural horror/thriller about a group of teen friends who find that the game they played while on break has followed them home and trapped them into playing with fatal stakes. Watch it if you've already seen everything else.

Rated: 2.5/5

This film is just as bland and inept as a SYFY original, despite its bigger budget and the Blumhouse stamp of approval.

Truth or Dare (2018) Another Movie with a Silly Curse (11,802 – 06 Jul 2018 / 02 Jul 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In the summer vacation, Olivia Barron (Lucy Hale) reluctantly travels to Mexico with her friends Markie Cameron (Violett Beane), who is her best friend, Lucas Moreno (Tyler Posey), Brad Chang (Hayden Szeto), Penelope Amari (Sophia Ali) and Tyson Curran (Nolan Gerard Funk). They have a good time and in the eve of their return. Olivia meets Carter (Landon Liboiron) at a bar, who woos her and protects Olivia from the harassment of her annoying acquaintance Ronald “Ronnie” Wakowski (Sam Lerner). When the bar closes, Carter invites Olivia and her friends to go to a nearby mission to drink beer. Later, he asks them to play “truth or dare”. When they return to the United States, they learn that they are cursed by a demon that will challenge then to play the game, and if they lie or do not accomplish the dare, they will die. “Truth or Dare” (2018) is another movie with a silly curse directed by Jeff Wadlow. I believe any mediocre writer can buy unoriginal and laughable storylines like "Truth or Dare" with dots to be filled in accordance with the wished situation. “A group of __ friends go to ___ and they bring a curse ______ with them. Along the story, ___ will die while the survivors try to find a way to break the curse. Question: will they succeed? (Y) or (No). In case of no, there will be an annex with cliffhangers for the sequel. The End.” The storyline of "Truth or Dare" is exactly the same as described above, filling the dots with: 6 - Mexico - of Truth and Dare - 3 - (No). However, many viewers seem to have liked this film. My vote is three. Title (Brazil): "Verdade ou Desafio" ("Truth or Dare") My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, os personagens sao mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom.
