Nitzan Havoc When it comes to British cinema, I've also had sort of a rough soft- spot, a love-hate relationship with this particular style. On one hand I find that (for me at least) the accent and cultural differences (when apparent) make it impossible to replicate the Hollywood ambiance and overall mood (a very important factor in Horror). On the other hand, regardless to the genre, British cinema has always been able to create it's own mood, feel, and sense. It either works for me or it doesn't, and when Truth or Die is considered, I believe it has.The story starts off as a British adaptation of the usual Slasher films, when we are introduced to the stereotypical bunch: the good guy, the good girl, the bastard and the b*tch, and of course the only slightly significant stoner. They do embark on the usual journey to a desolate location in bad weather (refreshing, eh?), but from that point on everything is commendably original. I don't want to say anything further, for in this film I feel that any piece of concrete information regarding the plot might be in some level a spoiler, so let me just say that things aren't what they seem to be, even when you think they are.The story, as I've said, is original and worthwhile, albeit a little too unreal for those of us who like to completely submerged in the plot and finish the film fearing the things that go bump at night. The acting is, in my opinion, right on the spot! Each of the characters plays their role perfectly, sometimes to the point of annoyance, but that's the character and that's their job. No profound Oscar level Horror-acting here, but everything is definitely more than adequate.The ending (as well as the scenes leading to it) have several nice twists, just the way I like it, though some of them were (again) too unreal for comfort. Still, a nice surprise towards the end is an automatic upgrade in my book. In summary, while music and cinematography are pretty much average and don't stick out in any way, and the acting is good but not superb, the story remains the main attraction. The overall feel reminded me of The Hole (2001), another nice British Horror, and the story made me think of the Saw series meeting Choose (2011).One could find many better Horror films, as well as many worst. This is not the kind of film to really scare a Horror fan, but is definitely worth watching if you're looking for a nice medium-light scare. Very recommended for couples looking for a nice cuddle during a nice scare on a stormy night.

bowmanblue I got about three minutes into Truth or Dare and absolutely hated it. It was the characters. They were completely loathsome. I don't want to come across as some sort of 'anti-rich brigade' but they were just too posh and full of themselves. They were like clones of Tamara Eccelstone and Ben Fogle (anyone who wears £300 shoes deserves to be chopped up in a slasher flick).However, I persevered and I was glad I did. For a start, they were supposed to be horrid and, without going into too much detail, they got what was coming to them.For what is technically a horror/torture b-movie, there are some surprising developments which I won't go into for fear of spoiling it for you. However, you may need a strong stomach as when revenge comes these toffs' way, it's not nice to watch.This is one film where the less you know about it, the more chance you'll have of enjoying it. If you like Hostel/revenge type films, definitely give this one a go. You may be surprised. And stick with it until the end - I was glad I did.

MattyGibbs 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.

st8627 The kind of film that Hollywood can't do. A gritty British thriller rather than horror I would say along the lines of Shallow Grave. You will either like this film or hate it. That is the thing with this British type of film.Our characters are typical British teenagers going wild at a party when things get out of hand through the most obvious , jealousy.Move forward and there is another party arranged and our teenagers turn up despite disliking the host because there is going to be free beer (and lets be honest who wont go to a party with free beer)This is where our film takes a twist and a brother out for revenge begins a grisly version of truth or dare. Unlike Hollywood it doesn't take the violence to levels of extreme but you could genuinely believe that there are people out there that would do this sort of thing.Plenty of twists and turns to keep you thinking again something that Hollywood tries to over dramatise but British cinema does so well.If you enjoy gritty British cinema sit back and enjoy.
