Completely garbage! How many times are you going to ask about sex? It started out pretty good, then just went downhill after the first ten minutes. The acting was really bad for most of the film, a few scenes were believable. Quality for a film made only 5 years ago, was horrible. Usually when the director stars in their own film, it's going to be a bad movie, and this was the exact outcome. If you are squeemish I highly suggest you stay away from this movie.

Truth or Dare is not only original but very well may shock you. It resonates intelligence long after the final credits. It's written and directed with brilliant professionalism, not normally shown in a first time director. Yet, the veteran actress Jessica Cameron shows such perfection it's impossible to believe it's her first. The film, itself, dealing with a web based team of Daredevils, who eventually meet their stalking, and quite creepy number one fan. Played exquisitely by Ryan Kiser, who, obviously relished his role and at times, is reminiscent of A manic Tony Perkins Psycho character. As the story plays out to the groups hostage and demise, at the hands of the obsessed Derik, revelation after revelation is revealed about each member. Secrets hidden away from each of their best friends. Not only does Derik tear them down from the outside, but internally as well. His obsession and desire to be a member leads not only to his destroying the group he loved most, but spins him into a madness from which there is no escape. The individual performances are far superior to most indie offerings. The color palette is reminiscent of something by Dario Argento. Ms. Cameron's debut shows the the promise of the best new talent in horror, and not just as a woman talent. Dare I say the most important voice in Horror since Clive Barker. I believe I just did...Give it a watch, if you Dare!

I genuinely enjoyed Truth or Dare quite a bit. Yes, it is not a large budget movie and yes, it's not loaded with giant Hollywood stars but that adds to the charm of this movie for me. It's odd saying that this movie charms me considering some of the things that happen. There is some great and twisted gore that I was impressed with. I thought it was well acted well directed and a great story. Personally, I thought Ryan Kiser was fantastic in this and it solidifies that I am now a fan. Support independent horror and check this one out. I feel that there's more passion and creativity in the independent horror than most mainstream lately. And for the people that are bashing the movie and comparing it to other movies that they love just go watch that movie or better yet go make your own movie. If it wasn't for young directors like Jessica Cameron and many others out there that are amazing we would be stuck with nothing but bad remakes of the movies we all watched as a kid.

Having seen three of the female members of the cast - Jessica Cameron, Devanny Pinn and Heather Dorff - on numerous film DVDs, I seized the opportunity to see the UK premiere of Truth or Dare in London where they all had major roles in a film which was the directorial debut of Jessica Cameron. In the previous films seen, I had appreciated that all three possessed the ability to make the maximum impact regardless of the screen time they were allocated and was interested to see how they fared in this film. I was certainly not disappointed.My attention was immediately captured by the opening scene an credit sequence and remained riveted for the full 84 minutes of the film. At the end of the film, I suddenly realised that I had been watching and thoroughly enjoying a film which apart from the opening few minutes was mainly located in one cramped room with most of the cast remaining in the same floor sitting position during the time that they were on screen. Obviously, it takes a successful combination and blending of various factors to achieve such a high level of audience attention and positive response throughout the length of a film in such a location and scene setting as experienced on this occasion. As far as I am concerned, some of these factors relevant to this film are: (a) Interesting storyline. Truth or Dare certainly possesses an original, imaginative and topical storyline based on the now popular style of Reality TV Shows which injected humour at unexpected moments which was immediately appreciated by the audience judging by the instant laughter generated who recognised the perfect timing by the actors delivering the lines. The story unfolded at a good pace throughout with not one moment of opportunity for the audience to be bored by unwarranted dialogue.(b) Excellent direction and camera-work. I was particularly impressed with the close up shots of faces and action. All the actors involved were clearly comfortable with the requirement to produce the necessary expressions for the close up sequences. Even the space tightness of the location there was a constant variation between focusing on individuals, couples and groups of characters as well as the occasional complete room location shot. All was very neatly accomplished.(c) Sound Effects/Soundtrack. Both sound effects and soundtrack were spot on and very effective with a touch or originality and appropriate to the occasion. I will not spoil the enjoyment of the viewing experience by mentioning one particular sound effect which I am sure was much appreciated by my fellow audience members.(d) Competent Acting. As mentioned previously, I have been impressed in the past productions by the performances of Jessica, Devanny and Heather and their excellent work throughout this film served to enhance their reputations. The other members of the cast, who were well selected, were new names to me but I will certainly be on the lookout for further examples of their work after admiring their contributions to this film. Ryan Kiser gave a flawless performance in a very difficult and demanding role. Many actors would have not been able to resist the temptation to go overboard with the delivery of the role and consequently lose the impact required but Ryan gave a very intelligent performance with astute presentation of verbal and movement requirements.When considering the mark to award the film, initially I was going to give it 9 out of 10 but on reflection I decided to award it a full 10 marks as I could find no reason to validly deduct a mark.
