TRUTH OR DARE (2017) - D-

Get a hold of the Golden Raspberry Awards because this film can win them in an assortment of different categories. While the concept of the film was original and quite intriguing, it fell flat in its execution.

The acting in this film, with exception to the brief appearance by horror legend Heather Langenkamp, was atrocious. It was so bad, at times I found myself laughing profusely. Can't put all the blame on the actors themselves because it isn't easy to perform well when the writing is this poor.

I have a difficult time believing that the script for this film went through any rewrites. It felt like a rough draft from start to finish. Nonsensical dialog, unrealistic responses and cliched reactions. I wrote better stuff in seventh grade.

And the directing? The transitions in this film I would say gave me a headache but it was more of a migraine.

This film relied way to heavily on shock value, and special effects. I suppose if you like being grossed out, it may be your thing but two hours worth of it, is too much for me.

The only thing this mess had going for it was suspense. It tickled the curious bone enough to make you sit and watch long enough to see what happens.

Then of course it ended ambiguously, although it wasn't that difficult to guess what probably happened.

It's sad to say, that yes, I've seen worse. Hence the D-
