Storyline

Olivia Barron, her best friend Markie Cameron, Markie's boyfriend Lucas Moreno, along with Penelope Amari and her boyfriend Tyson Curran, and Brad Chang go on a trip to Rosarito, Mexico. In Mexico, Olivia runs into fellow student Ronnie who proceeds to harass her until a man intervenes on her behalf. The man introduces himself as Carter and eventually convinces her and her friends to join him for drinks at the ruins of a mission. There, Carter initiates a game of Truth or Dare with Olivia and her friends, plus Ronnie, who followed the group. Eventually, the game ends when Carter reveals that he deceived Olivia as a means of tricking her and her friends to the mission to offer them in his place in the supernatural game of Truth or Dare. As Carter leaves, he explains to Olivia that the game will follow them and they must not refuse it..

User Reviews

The movie does not deserve the low reviews

The movie did not receive the bad amount of comments or opinions it got from other users. Quite frankly, they are wrong in calling Truth or Dare a bad movie, as it is not meant to be a masterpiece but a fun movie to watch in a rainy day scenario.

If you are looking for a movie that you can switch off to and just watch a movie that is mindless entertainment then Truth or Dare is a movie i recommend it if you can look past of the cliche horror tropes.

Overall the movie as some decent young actors in it and is a passable horror movie so i suggest giving Truth or Dare a chance.
