I was super hesitant about this movie because it has the same title as the 2018 Truth or Dare and it looked like a low budget version. But this movie was actually better than the 2018 version and it technically came out first. While there are a couple similarities between the two, they are not the same. This is more of what I was expecting when I saw the 2018 version. There are some good intense moments and I liked the suggested resolution in the movie. Most of the kills are gory and at some point this movie even turns into torture porn. But there are some flaws. There isn't much of a backstory on the house and some parts are unexplained. And I didn't like how some of the dares become fatal. I wasn't really sure how I felt about the ending either -- it was a cliffhanger of sorts. Even with it's flaw, this was still a really good movie and there is even a cameo from Heather Langenkamp (Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street).
