It seems like there are so many horror movies released each year, in my opinion too many. But every once in a while one comes along that completely throws you off guard and surprises the shit out of you. Truth or Dare just may be one of those movies that falls into that category.
The horror/thriller is written by Matthew McGuchan, and directed by Robert Heath. Jennie Jacques, Liam Boyle, David Oakes, Florence Hall and Jack Gordon all star.
Look for Truth or Dare to be released in the UK sometime in November 2011. A US release date has not yet been announced.
Plot Synops:
Five teenage friends are taken hostage by a vengeful psychopath and forced to play a party game with life-or-death consequences.
An end-of-year party for an 'alpha' group of first year univerty students turns nasty when a game of 'truth or dare' ends in humiliation for ultra-rich social misfit Felix. For five students at the gathering, this unpleasant but seemingly minor incident will have unexpectedly devastating repercusons.
Some months later, the friends meet again en route to a surprise party for Felix, who has been away traveling. Arriving at the venue - an old hunting lodge - they are met by Justin, Felix's charismatic older brother, who explains that Felix will be late for the party. He persuades the gang to join him in getting drunk in his bling's absence, but psychopathic rage bubbles beneath Justin's charming exterior, and the real reason for the gathering is revealed: Felix has committed suicide, and Justin is determined to find out why.
Anger explodes into violence as Justin overpowers his guests and a brutal and grueling game of 'truth or dare' ensues. Justin's army training and sociopathic tendencies have equipped him well for the task of torturing his victims until he gets an answer, and as the terrified hostages are questioned one by one, cracks appear as the friends turn against each other in desperation.
Their only hope is to work together and turn the tables on their assailant, even if they must risk their lives in the process. The scene is set for a shocking denouement as secrets are revealed on both des and the tables are turned in a blood-soaked final confrontation.
