"Truth or Dare" is a very good idea, it uses the truth or dare game we are used to playing to make an article. It has become a game of death infested with evil spirits and life-threatening. The entire film was produced by Blumhouse Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures. The pair released many horror films of good quality. "Happy Death Day", "Get Out" and "Split" are all from the former. And, of course, the upcoming Unfriend 2.
However, similar to other types of horror films, after successfully grabbing the audience's attention at the beginning. "Truth or Dare" struggled to draw the circle of the story well, and some of the scary moves were too clumsy. In the storyline, the existence of demons is to make fun of the world, which is undoubtedly a spoiler by the audience. Then "Truth or Dare" becomes a shell, and you can replace it with anything. It increases the inevitability of the game and abandons some randomness, which greatly reduces the audience's viewing expectations.
For me, what I appreciate the most is that Blumhouse Productions stuff never lacks creativity, from Silent Night, Die Divination 2, and Get Out. Although there are some regrets. However, we cannot deny that silent killing, divination summoning, and hypnotism are indeed more shrewd than ordinary B-level plasma tablets. We have reason to look forward to the horror films that BP will launch next. This type of horror film tends to be younger, and it is more in line with the impression of modern young people on horror films than the academics like "The Witch" who prefer a dull rhythm.
Of course, in terms of good creativity, "Truth or Dare" needs further pondering on the three-dimensional sense of the characters and the sorting out of the plot. Although we complained that the third and fourth installments of the "Hidden" series are relatively bad, but at least in a limited time, people have described the causes and consequences of the origin of terror and the life experience of the victims. Therefore, the way of fighting the demons in "Insidious 4" is a little clumsy, and it is difficult to deny that they have put a lot of thought into the structure of the story: the past of the protagonist female exorcist, the cause and effect of the incident, and the power of mother's love, make the audience watching At the time we understood a "story" rather than an "event." That's something to learn in today's horror genre. In the balance between the two, it is better to do a better job, in addition to Wen Ziren's "Hidden" and "Soul Conjuring" series, it must be "The Exorcist" in the 1970s.
