So, I don't dislike this film. The premise is sound enough, the acting done well, it all just holds up as a decent horror film. At least nearly all. This is let down by downright terrible storytelling.
So the premise is a demon has taken over the game of Truth or Dare and when people are asked, they have to do what they choose. If they don't, they die. This is all going well until quite late in the film the whole premise of the game is downright ruined by the demon actually ignoring the rules of the game, taking control of a body and then stabbing who it admits is the only person that could have stopped the game.
So the whole premise of the film is thrown in the toilet there and then. The point behind the whole film, ruined. Why did it need to play the truth or game? It didn't, the demon could have simply done what it wanted all along. A bad ending can't ruin a film completely, the positives are still there, but it leaves the worst taste and knocks the film down dramatically.
