Blumhouse's Truth Or Dare 2018 Online Review From Everywhere


Movie Description:

 A harmless game of "Truth or Dare" among friends turns deadly when someone--or something--begins to punish those who tell a lie--or refuse the dare.

 Is This Version Of "Truth Or Dare" Worth Your Time!?

 Good Points:

 - 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.

- It's a fun watch. As for the plot itself, yeah it's going to be predictable as ever, but that's part of the cheesy charm. You'd be mad to take this movie seriously.

- Delivers a clever ending answering the looming question, how to get out of the curse?

- It's definitely not a horror movie for everyone, but to give you an idea of what to expect, Truth or Dare feels like a 2018 version of Wish Upon, which is completely my kind of jam (and I'm totally cool with being in the minority here).

- The silly sounding premise gets a better execution than you might expect.

- Today's generic horror entries are superior to the cheap, poorly acted shockers from the '80s. Truth or Dare is a fine case in point.

Bad Points:

- Truth or Dare thought it was up for the challenge of a real game, but ended us losing shortly after it started playing.

- The usual cliches, mustering unsettling noises but nothing actually frightening.

- The truth about Truth or Dare? It's not all that daring. Nor is it all that original. A very tired carbon copy of a very tired genre.

- The truth is, it's not very good - and entirely without scares. But we dare you to watch it without unleashing a few unintended laughs along the way.

- Come to think of it, a more skillful production would have set aside the entire supernatural aspect of the film altogether. As any teenager who has played a real game of truth or dare can tell you, the experience doesn't need any demons to terrorize.

- Watch it on 123movies anyway.

Is Ready Player One 2018 Worth Your Time!? Good Points: -  Spielberg wants us to drop the techno-gadgets and join hands, but it's the VR world that really juices him. He's the ultimate fanboy making a movie about the need to move beyond being a fan. -  A blast of pure childlike amusement. -  Tailor made for Spielberg with an adventurous heart and an accessible screenplay. -...

Image
Movie Description: Lauren (Christina Ricci) and Russel Curran (Brendan Fletcher) decide to move away from the bustle of the city and into the peaceful oasis of The Pinnacle, a coveted luxury condo boasting ultra-modern design, state-of-the-art features and security systems. Lauren begins to suspect the building has a dark side and seeks the help of Vernon (John Cusack), an investigative journalist with an interest in cyber conspiracy. Together, they come to believe that The Pinnacle may be brainwashing unsuspecting residents. Check Out Some Comments Before Spending Your time Before Watching It: Good Points: -  A slick and gripping psychological thriller that fizzles out by the end. Christina Ricci's raw, convincingly moving performance is one of the best of her career which somewhat compensates for the screenplay's lack of emotional depth. Bad Points: -  "Distorted" plays one too many tricks, and its casting is abysmal. -  All told, Distorted do...
