I would like to begin this glimpse into Jessica Cameron's directorial debut 'Truth or Dare' by pointing out that I had high expectations for the scream queen's anticipated film. However the motion picture that pushed it's proverbial cork screw into my retina was entirely unexpected as it truly surpassed my expectations and that of the atypical “Safe” film debut by a director.. It was a masterpiece painted in gore and the controversial, the beautiful and the simply cringe worthy. BLOODY FUCKING BRILLIANT. I'll get more into my analysis of the film after we take a step back and take a look at the plot itself.
Truth or Dare follows a doomed group known as “The Truth or Dare Devils”, friends and talented film-makers who've found success with viral videos depicting the troupe playing dangerous yet fake interpretations of the social game we all have played at one time or another. It is in their most recent filming of the popular internet based “reality” show, that one obsessed fan decides that not only should he be a part of the upcoming episode, but lend his own demented form of “realism” that he believes the show is lacking. The events that follow will prove to be eye-opening for those whom chose falsehood in the shadow of truth, and painful for those who thought “dare” was a welcomed friend.
