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.

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.

Entertaining and edge of your seat, and some good twists. Only 3 stars because approximately the last 20 minutes, especially the ending (though unpredictable), got too dumb and senseless.

Ralph R

Truth or Dare (2018) is one of those horror movies that keeps a decent pace but feels oddly familiar, almost like a mashup of different horror elements you've seen before. The setup is engaging enough, and the production is solid for a Blumhouse film, but there's nothing groundbreaking here. The tension is there, but the scares rely too much on predictable moments and overused horror tropes. It moves fast enough to keep things from getting boring, but at the same time, it doesn't leave much of a lasting impact. The acting isn't bad, and the cast does what they can with the material, but the film as a whole feels forgettable once it's over. It has a few moments that work, but the story doesn't do enough to stand out from similar supernatural horror films. If you're just looking for a casual, easy-to-watch horror flick with some creepy visuals and a decent pace, it might be worth a shot. Otherwise, it's not something you'd revisit or think about much after the credits roll.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
