   Truth or Dare

   _source

   Hello Cinema fans, welcome to my blog. I am back again with another horror movie. Most of you have already seen it (maybe), so I have decided to review it. As you guys know I am a horror movie lover so most of the times you will see me reviewing horror movies or series. Today's movie of the day is "Truth or Dare" released in 2018. It's very old but I have watched it recently, I had it in my watchlist for a long time but I have never got the opportunity to watch it.

   I have watched another movie like this one which is called "Smile 2", I will review that in another blog. The IMDB rating of "Truth or Dare" is 5.2/10 but I believe that the ratings could be better because this movie was good not that bad. I don't get it why it has such low ratings. If you ask for my personal opinion then I would say this movie was horrifying to watch. The storyline was simple nothing complicated or exaggerated. Also, there's no unnecessary jump scares. I really hate it when they add jumps scare into the movie for no reason and it annoys me a lot.

   The story begins with our protagonist Olivia Barron. Her bestfriend is Markie Cameron. Markie has a boyfriend and their common friends decided to go on a trip to Rosarito, Mexico. At first Olivia was not willing to go anywhere as she was busy with her work but Markie and her friends convinced her to go with them. In Mexico, Olivia runs into Ronnie who tried to harass her but a stranger named Carter came between them he had saved her. Olivia and Carter have met for the first time but Carter easily lures her and her friends in an abandoned church. Carter also got them into playing a game it's called “Truth or Dare” and later Ronnie also joined them.

   Eventually, while playing Carter reveals that he had tricked everyone to offer them instead of his place in the game of Truth or Dare. Before leaving he also told Olivia that the game is real everyone must continue and if they refuse to play then they would die. No one believed at first and everyone went back to their home. However, the game began and they realized a demonic force has attached itself to the game. If you refuse to play or if you are lying or being unable to complete the dare leads to horrifying consequences. Their journey begins as they want to undo their curse.

   Trailer & Review

   When I saw Lucy Hale in the trailer, it made me excited because I have watched her before, and I like her as an actress because she is amazing. So, I admire every movie she does. For that reason, I was interested in watching this movie. Their smiles are freaky, it bothers me a lot. If someone smiled at me like that, I would run away. Their smiles reminded me of the "Smile 2" movie. I’ve seen a few reviews where people found this movie funny because of the smile. Actually, if you haven’t watched "Smile"-related movies, then it’s a new thing for you, and it’s definitely okay to cringe because it’s something new you are seeing. We are only used to seeing horrible ghost faces, not something smiling. We usually see ghosts as scary entities that hunt us down and kill people.

   _source

   What I liked about this movie is that there was twist after twist, and the ending was totally unexpected. Anyway, if you watch the movie from a different perspective rather than the "evil entity" doing the killing we see that the people who participated in the game are being forced to do the dirty deeds because they got possessed, and we get to see the harsh reality of choices.

   _source

   I think every movie has its own unique concept, and I accept that wholeheartedly. Everything is fantasy, and we watch movies for fun not to find logic in everything. I’m a little biased toward this movie because of Lucy Hale. Anyway, the other actors and actresses did a really good job; they looked pretty real. The deaths are portrayed in a horrible way they are not easy to watch. There’s nothing particularly scary, but the disturbing scenes will definitely make you feel something. The age rating is PG-13 because there’s violence and some sexual content.

   _source

   Overall, it's a very unique and original movie. I want everyone to watch this movie and ignore the bad reviews. This movie tried to do something new, so there’s no reason to hate it. There will be different kinds of horror movies, and I’m tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. I feel this movie has something different, which may not be understandable to everyone.

2. ›(ENG/SPA) TRUTH or DARE? Terror Review@promete0sz558d

   

   It is exciting to read reviews because it is right there that I discover powerful films that during its heyday the occupations of everyday life as studies and work did not even let me know they existed and when I see those movies is great to see that if they are great and one of them is just the one I bring today to review and recommend to all the audience that has not yet seen it.

   Truth or Dare is an extremely entertaining film that you can enjoy on Netflix, the way it tells the story I liked because it keeps the interest in knowing why the deaths happen while it is inspired and connects with a game for children, teenagers and why not, also for adults where the game goes through the whole spectrum from innocent to dangerous, the film takes all of the above and adds a single ingredient that engrano solidly with the story, supernatural horror.

   Es emocionante leer reseñas porque justo de allí es que descubro potentes films que durante su apogeo las ocupaciones del día a día como los estudios y trabajo no me dejaron ni siquiera enterarme de que existían y cuando veo esas películas lo genial es ver que si son buenísimas y una de ellas es justo la que traigo hoy para reseñar y recomendar a toda la audiencia que aun no la ha visto.

   Truth or Dare es un film en extremo entretenido que puedes disfrutar en Netflix, el modo en que cuenta la historia me agrado porque mantiene el interés en saber por que suceden las muertes a la vez que se inspira y conecta con un juego de niños, adolescentes y porque no, también de adultos donde el juego se pasea por todo el espectro de lo inocente a lo peligroso, la película toma todo lo anterior y le agrega un único ingrediente que engrano sólidamente con la historia, el terror sobrenatural.

   

   Something in its favor is that its horror can be seen by a large part of the audience, that is, those who are afraid of horror I think they will still enjoy it because the concept of an innocent game that is deformed to become murky and deadly is a formula that works and has proven to attract masses that are not necessarily fans of horror as a genre but to see a good story, just remember Squid Game that just uses children's games to develop its plot.

   In addition to the above, I consider that this film also inspires what Smile has been, I'm sure many have seen or heard of it, so much so that I think they could be in the same universe because their stories as horror elements have a lot of analogy or flashes of equivalent narrative in both.

   If the images still do not convince you to watch, I invite you to see the Trailer which has everything you need to note that this is an entertaining movie to watch and also has all the basics of horror to leave happy the viewer fan of this genre.

   Algo que tiene a favor es que su Terror lo considero puede ser visto por gran parte de la audiencia, es decir, aquellos que les de miedo el terror considero que igual la disfrutaran porque el concepto juego inocente que se deforma para volverlo turbio y mortal es una fórmula que funciona y que ha demostrado atrae masas que no necesariamente son fans del terror como genero pero sí de ver una buena historia, solo recordemos Squid Game que justamente usa juegos infantiles para desarrollar su trama.

   Esta película además de lo anterior, considero que también inspira lo que ha sido Smile, estoy seguro muchos la habrán visto o habrán escuchado de ella, es tanto así que considero pudieran estar en el mismo Universo porque sus historia como elemento de terror poseen mucha analogía o destellos de narrativa equivalente en ambas.

   Sí las imágenes aun no terminan de convencer para poder ver, te invito a ver el Trailer el cual tiene todo lo necesario para hacer notar que esta es una entretenida película para ver y tiene además todo lo básico del terror para dejar feliz al espectador fan de este genero.

   

   

   • It is not a predictable movie

   I saw it recently and I didn't find it predictable at all, there are its typical elements of the genre but as a story it kept me in expectation, I think this will also happen with you and it will be positive because if something is criticized of horror movies is that they are very predictable but I think it is a wrong approach because in reality it is that too much is demanded of a narrative that only seeks to be entertaining while posing an attractive arc for fans of the genre.

   • The characters evolve and learn from their experiences in a coherent way

   Something I liked about the film at a narrative level is that in its conclusion in the approach of the story scale and with it a paradigm shift in its protagonist that to survive can sacrifice herself but in the process all this thinking changes, it's nice to see this kind of thing because the convictions are not absolute and the characters should not walk on automatic, but rather learn from their experiences.

   • No es una película Predecible

   La vi recientemente y no me pareció predecible para nada, hay sus elementos típicos del genero pero como historia me tuvo a la expectativa, pienso esto también sucederá contigo y sera positivo porque si algo se critica de las películas de terror es que son muy predecibles pero pienso que es un enfoque errado porque en realidad es que se sobre exige demasiado de una narrativa que solo busca ser entretenida mientras plantea un arco atractivo para los fanáticos del genero.

   • Los personajes evolucionan y aprenden de sus Experiencias de manera Coherente

   Algo que me agrado del film a un nivel narrativo es que en su conclusión en el planteamiento de la historia escala y con ello un cambio de paradigma en su protagonista que para sobrevivir puede sacrificarse a si misma pero en el proceso todo este pensamiento cambia, es grato ver este tipo de cosas porque las convicciones no son absolutas y los personajes no deberían andar en automático, si no mas bien aprender de sus vivencias.

   

   

   • The Villain Has Potential

   This is the best thing about the film along with the childish concept of the game truth or dare, you have a villain that in itself appears little, if there is something to criticize the film is precisely this, in fact I would like more interaction from that sinister character that in its dynamic scenes makes the film interesting, in fact when the characters have direct conflict with the villain of the film, is when I see the best scenes of the film.

   Horror film that has in its favor the fact that it does not bore, it is consistent with what it wants to tell us and entertains throughout the process, enjoy every death even those that included elements of forced inclusion haha.

   A film that I give 7.5 out of 10 for how totally entertaining it is, it gives me some good deaths, it is creative in the villain or monster that wants to present us, an extremely sexy protagonist which is perfect in this type of genre and film that also as a choral group of victims, I perceive that they act well, if you have seen it tell me in comments what you thought and if you have not seen it yet, I invite you to see it to enjoy this good Horror movie.

   • El Villano tiene Potencial

   Esto es lo mejor del film junto con el concepto infantil del juego verdad o reto, tienes un villano que en sí aparece poco, si hay algo a criticar del film es precisamente esto, de hecho quisiera mas interacción por parte de ese personaje siniestro que en su dinámica de escenas hace interesante la película, de hecho cuando los personajes tienen conflicto directo con ese villano del film, es cuando veo las mejores escenas de la película.

   Película de Terror que tiene a favor el hecho de que no aburre, es coherente con lo que quiere contarnos y entretiene en todo el proceso, disfrute cada muerte hasta las que incluían elementos de inclusión forzada jaja.

   Un film al que le doy 7.5 chiquitos de 10 por lo totalmente entretenida que es, me da unas buenas muertes, es creativa en el villano o monstruo que nos quiere presentar, una protagonista extremadamente sexy lo cual queda perfecto en este tipo de genero y film que ademas como grupo coral de víctimas, percibo que actúan bien, si la haz visto dime en comentarios que tal te pareció y si aun no la haz visto, te invito a verla para disfrutar de esta buena película de Horror.

   I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
