I was looking for the 2018\u00a0film with the same name, but I found this on NetFlix and though, eh what the hell.\u00a0 I am glad that I did this so I could have 2 films to compare a bit.\u00a0 This apparently premiered on SyFy last year, and it has Heather Langenkamp, better known as Nancy from Nightmare on Elm Street parts 1 & 3 and New Nightmare.\u00a0 It’s a small role, but perfect for her.<\/p>\n

I loved how this started.\u00a0 We know a girl has to pour acid on her head, so she mixes some water and flour and covers her head and then pours the acid.\u00a0 So it’s that type of movie.\u00a0 A bunch of teens or young adults rent out this house and it’s supposed to be haunted I think.\u00a0 They get together, start drinking and then they decide to play Truth Or Dare.\u00a0 Well, the dares are in a bowl and they\u00a0get fucked up fast.<\/p>\n

The idea is that if you don’t do the dare, you die.\u00a0 Truth isn’t much of an option, it is mostly dares.\u00a0 The house gives you so many minutes to do it, and if you don’t, it will make you or you die.\u00a0 It’s actually a fun and simple concept.\u00a0 For a SyFy film, the production value is pretty good.\u00a0 I was surprised at the fact that they got out of the house about 30 minutes in.\u00a0 Not before a death a few cool things, but they did come back, obviously.<\/p>\n

This succeeded in the creativity department for fucked up things for them to have to do.\u00a0 I liked that.\u00a0 Yes, the effects were silly at times.\u00a0 A noose just breaking through the ceiling, kinda weird.\u00a0 Still, conceptually, this worked well.\u00a0 My biggest complaint was that the final 3 were all annoying ass females.\u00a0 Seriously, mix it up!!\u00a0 I am sick of hearing whining bitches and then one “tough” girl.\u00a0 It’s not for me.\u00a0 Holt was the best character that they had.\u00a0 Him and Tyler, I think that was him.\u00a0 The smart dude.\u00a0 I liked that Holt called the girls out for not participating while the guys took all the harsh shit.\u00a0 Holt was a hero!<\/p>\n

I have a few other gripes that I need to acknowledge.\u00a0 The ending will piss you off.\u00a0 If you sit there and say, “Oh, that ending was satisfying” I would never value your opinion on films.\u00a0 The whole thing about “Let’s put your finger on ice” and then you see the cooler and it has no ice.\u00a0 I get that its low budget, but ice is fucking free!!!!\u00a0 Come the fuck on.\u00a0 Also, I talked to\u00a0my buddy Ron about this, and I concur.\u00a0 Why the hell didn’t they just slug some booze toward the end?\u00a0 Seriously, it would have made shit much easier.\u00a0 Some of this felt like shit you could see in Saw, and I approve of that.<\/p>\n

Rating: 6.1 – I actually really like a good hour of this film at least.\u00a0 The last 30 minutes, not so much.\u00a0 I would absolutely rewatch this.\u00a0 This would fall under guilty pleasure.\u00a0 I recommend it.<\/p>\n
