Well, this is interesting… it looks like there is another version of TRUTH OR DARE out there other than Blumhouse's recent PG-13 teen horror romp starring Lucy Hale. This other TRUTH OR DARE flick comes to us from the producers of the 2010 remake of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE and will be hitting DVD this September.
The thriller is directed by Nick Simon (COLD COMES THE NIGHT, THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS, DAM SHARKS!) and originally aired on Syfy. It features an ensemble cast featuring Cassie Scerbo (the SHARKNADO series), Luke Baines (THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS) and Mason Dye (TEEN WOLF), along with a cameo from A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET's Heather Langenkamp.
The film follows:
Eight college friends head to a "Haunted Rental" in a remote town for Halloween weekend. There, they play the game rumored to have caused the deaths of seven teenagers decades earlier, Truth or Dare. And what starts out as vodka-induced fun, quickly turns serious when the dares become sickeningly dangerous and the truths threaten to tear the group apart. When players attempt to refuse the increasingly challenging tasks, they're met with deadly consequences, quickly discovering: you must do the dare, or the dare does you.
Truth be told (natch) this film is already looking better than Blumhouse's TRUTH OR DARE to me. It looks, you know, NOT like a boring teen horror romp. In fact, this new film looks to deliver some brutal and bloody good times. Add in the legendary Heather Langenkamp and I might have to check out this flick when it hits… if I dare.
You can check out the DVD cover art below along with the film's trailer and some choice stills. This new version of TRUTH OR DARE will be hitting September 4th.
