PROS: Technically this movie is a train wreck, but creatively this movie is outstanding. The whole idea that a sad brother wants answers and the only way he will get them is by torturing people is so freaking hilarious to me, but the movie is anything but hilarious. This is a dark and horrifying film. Cabin in the woods meets the invitation. There really is nothing conventional about this film, at all, from the character development to the plot development this movie does nothing you'd expect, which I like because it kept you on your toes.CONS: Basic flaws include low budget acting, un suspenseful filmography, crappy resolution, and poorly strung together plot. But besides the basics there is one con that actually hindered my viewing experience, and that would be... The acting. Although this will be the only thing I'll harp on this wasn't the only thing wrong with the movie. What really frustrated me with the acting was the inability to express genuine emotions. What you got from each and every character in the movie were stagnant responses. This is bad because it made the characters flat, and in a horror film no character ever should be flat. That is a strong no no.www.chorror.com

I lost interest after one particular scene. It just seemed so fake after that point. I guess that's the Hollywood factor. Overlook the obvious escape route to keep the movie going. After watching so many horror movies I've learned a couple of things. If the bad guy/monster is down for the count take him/her out! Don't just stand there and wait until he/she gets back the energy to kill you. If you break or chop off fingers, they can't pick up anything to hurt you. When you break/shoot/stab the ankles, knees and/or feet then they cant chase you! Survival tactics that should have been used in this flick but it would have ended the movie really fast.

This is a low budget UK horror. Five friends are lured to a cabin and find themselves in a battle to survive as a vengeful brother seeks revenge. The friends are a dislikeable bunch which is a major drawback of the movie. I didn't really feel any empathy for the possible victims and therefore it lacks a little suspense. The acting is a major letdown of this movie. Many UK horror films at least possess decent actors but this sadly isn't one of them with the girls being particularly poor. There are some pretty unpleasant scenes as the situation escalates but it's all pretty predictable and far fetched stuff. Truth or Dare is at least watchable but ultimately quite disappointing and forgettable. With a better cast this could have been much better.

One weak boy (Felix)in love with an out of reach girl plays a game of Truth or Dare. Given a truth of who at the party he would like to take upstairs to roger (as the Brits say)he of course picks the out of reach girl. Her boy friend, who is an ass, gets upset and punches him out. Months later the five closest friends(?) are invited to a birthday party for Felix. Turns out when they get there that Felix has shown his weakness by hanging himself. So Felix's brother has set a revenge cabin to get even. The brother is a not right in the head military man who has served three tours in the cesspool of Afghanistan. By fair means or foul the brother kills or maims all the friends plus another who shows up later. One of the friends is so weak willed he is co-opted by the brother and actually helps him against the others. Even murdering the late arriving friend. While this is going on Gemma has escaped and runs to the manor to try and call for help. She discovers that Felix is not dead but is paralyzed and on life support. Bad brother finds her and breaks her neck. As this is happening the turn coat has been left alone with last two survivors. Eleanor is the only more or less healthy one and she breaks free and knocking the wussy one to the ground splits his head and dies. Before that happens he has confessed to being the one who sent the post card that supposedly caused Felix to hang himself. Surprise, surprise, it turns out the reason for baby brothers hanging resulted from an email sent by Eleanor asking for financial help for her father's failing company, threatening to release a video of his very inept sexual tryst between the two of them. Since big brother was coming home Felix evidently hung himself from shame rather than face him. Eleanor has found Felix and brings him to the cabin. She then explains the scenario to big bro who has been overcome and tied to a post. Giving Felix a grenade she places the pin in one finger and leaves. Felix eventually works the pin loose and blows up both of them. Eleanor and the last remaining boy survive to drive out. The ending was not what I expected as I assumed (I know) that all the friends would end up dead.
