Truth or Dare

"Truth or Dare" (2017) starts off with a decent introduction to its characters, setting the stage for what could have been an engaging horror ride. The first half builds some suspense and excitement, but as the second act progresses, the story starts to lose its way. By the time the third act rolls around, things fall apart with a lack of payoff, no real climax, no satisfying answers, and no closure. It leaves you with the feeling that the movie could have done so much more with its premise. The acting is solid but not remarkable, and while the cinematography is passable, it doesn't do much to elevate the experience. The score? Honestly, I barely noticed it, which says a lot. The sets and locations are functional at best, but nothing stands out or enhances the atmosphere. Overall, it’s a movie that had potential but ultimately settled for mediocrity. It’s not a terrible watch if you want something simple, but don’t expect it to leave a lasting impression.
