If you don’t speak the truth, you will die, and if you don’t follow the big adventure, you will die! My truth is, don’t expect to go to the movies, maybe it will be better

[Stupid Games] The evil taste of horror movies

I kept thinking: how to introduce this movie? In keeping with the spirit of learning, we still have to break out some intellectual content.

The origin of Truth or Dare, one said it came from ancient Greece. The king would let artists draw lots and randomly let them perform shows to entertain everyone. Later it spread to the fame, as early as 1712 in The Witness (The Witness) in England. Spectator’s daily publication records that people would play a game of "questions or orders" on Christmas Day. Participants took turns to be generals, while others acted as subordinates. The generals asked questions. If the subordinates were unwilling to answer or gave a wrong answer, Will be punished, the punishment can be accepting the general's order, or putting dirt on the face.

There are a lot of movies like "Truth or Dare": "Final Destination" (Final Destination) is also a group of people facing the death of death; "Saw" (Saw) is a murderer and a victim Play abnormal games and you will die if you lose.

I actually admire the spirit of the producer Blumhouse, which is low-budget horror movies. Their well-known films are too numerous to count-"Smart: Ghost Record Paranormal Activity", "Insidious", "The Purge", "Get Out" and so on...

Horror movie scripts will always have a kind of nasty assumption in it, which is also a place for me to savor carefully. For example, this film turns the seemingly naive Truth or Dare into a serious death game; or the "Human Elimination Project" The dystopian hypothesis of The Purge—On the night of National Day, any crime is allowed to vent the anger in the heart. Other examples: Freddy won’t let you sleep, monsters can’t talk, play hide-and-seek, disc fairy, watching cursing videos, murdering notebooks... all of them turn seemingly ordinary and simple things into terrifying themes. If I remember correctly, the director Wen Ziren said: "Because I was scared when I was a kid watching horror movies, so I want to be scary when I grow up." Therefore, the shooters of horror movies are usually full of childlike innocence. Looking back at the topic of this film, I think it is very superior and unique. I think it is also the reason why Blumhouse, the production company Blumhouse, is willing to invest.

[Film Critic] My Truth

"Truth or Dare" obviously selects young people as the main audience: young people are the protagonists, Truth or Dare, and it is Bilv Tuan Kang Chang playing games, and most young people will feel the same. We can see evidence from the box office. In the first week, the box office has reached more than 21 million, which is more than six times the film production fee of 3.5 million U.S. dollars. I think it is a commercial film that has made a big contribution. Although it is an interesting theme, it does not mean that it is a good movie. We have to look at how the content is handled.

In addition to seeing many other movie routines and strange grimace special effects, there are three main shortcomings:

First, the problem addressed by the truth is too thin.

We saw the protagonists being forced to tell their inner secrets, but we all only saw the love triangle between the protagonists. Although simple and straightforward, it inevitably made people feel like a local drama or an idol drama. A slightly more mature audience might feel that Slightly naive.

Second, the curse of the game has no restrictions and is too powerful.

It feels like you will appear, and you don’t know when to find you. The protagonists have cursed for a while to find them after their vacation, but at the beginning of the game, they are forced to play from time to time, and the rhythm is chaotic... if This game is a bit limited and will be more suspenseful or dangerous. At least the protagonist can resist and is not arbitrarily manipulated. For example, "Midnight Bell", it only finds you seven days later, or "Death is Coming", how cautious are you still? Can avoid crisis.

Third, the ending is not smart enough.

We often expect horror films to have a carbine, and this film also has such a design, but I personally think that it is not the best way, because this film uses things that are only explained once to make the final finishing touch? Or the ultimate secret in the heart of the heroine? I think it is far-fetched and lacking in strength. In order not to break the line, I can only stop at it.


This movie is a successful popcorn movie. If you are a general audience, go to the theater after get off work, or go out on a date to scare your girlfriend. You don’t know what to watch. If you come for a little excitement, you can join in the fun. The process is also full of tension. of. But soon after watching it, I believe you will forget what you are acting; if you are a serious horror fan or a strict movie fan, you will probably miss it for a while after watching it, and feel that your life is wasted. Although the online reviews are down to one side, I think they will rate them online, even for some movie fans... But I believe that most of the audience will think it’s normal or OK after watching it. Anyway, don’t look forward to it. Maybe It will be better.

    It's a routine story like death is coming, but it is richer in content and form. A sentence of truth organizes the relationship between the characters and tells the unspeakable secrets between the characters. The big adventures are designed in terms of It's a little worse, and the ending is more interesting than expected. (50)
