Maybe I was traumatized by having to follow through on either of those choices and thus buried that deep in my psyche. I know it existed, but while I can distinctly recall playing the aforementioned games, trying to dredge up memories of ToD results in a big goose egg. What I can't seem to remember is ever playing Truth or Dare. While we also had pretty much every traditional board game known to children at that time, I think we more enjoyed games that didn't involve boards and instead revolved around physical motion (such as Freeze Tag, Red Light/Green Light, Snake in the Grass, Mother May I, and so on). OUR TAKE: 3 out of 10 Back when I was growing up in the 1960s and '70s electronic games were pretty much limited to Electric Football (and it's vibrating field), Lite-Brite (and those colorful pegs) and Operation (with the red nose buzzer alert if you were facing malpractice for touching either side of an open incision). As the consequences of that progressively get worse and people start dying, the survivors try to figure out what's causing that, eventually leading them to one of Carter's friends, Giselle (AURORA PERRINEAU), who's similarly trapped inside the game. Olivia is the first up and initially can't get the others to believe her, but slowly one by one they find themselves subjected to the same where one or more people around them suddenly develop evil grins, make them choose truth or dare, and then give them their directions. Unbeknownst to them, he's done so to trap them inside the game that's controlled by a demon and where if they refuse to select one of the two options or follow through on that, they'll die. When another student, Ronnie (SAM LERNER), makes unwelcome advances toward Olivia, a stranger, Carter (LANDON LIBOIRON), steps in and then invites her and her friends to accompany him to the ruins of an old mission where they end up playing a game of truth or dare. Joining them are Penelope (SOPHIA TAYLOR ALI) and her boyfriend, Tyson (NOLAN GERARD FUNK), and Brad (HAYDEN SZETO) who's yet to come out to his cop father. But her best friend, Markie (VIOLETT BEANE), convinces her to join her, her boyfriend, Lucas (TYLER POSEY), and the rest of their friends in Mexico for one last bit of partying. PLOT: Olivia (LUCY HALE) is a college senior who's planning on spending her spring break doing volunteer work for a charity. QUICK TAKE: Horror: A group of college students must contend with being trapped inside a game of truth or dare that's controlled by a demon and where if they refuse to play, they'll die.
