A teen slasher with a FINAL DESTINATION type twist, as participants in a truth or dare game find themselves menaced by a curse that seems them messily offed if they don't fulfil the game's obligations. This is predictable, passe stuff, let down by the central conceit that sees people grinning inanely before the deaths; it's supposed to be scary, but in fact it looks laughable. The acting is below par, the scripting dull, the whole thing distinctly unmemorable.

not actually scary
Olivia Barron (Lucy Hale) is a do-gooder who is planning to do Habitat for Humanity over her spring break. She gets pushed by her best friend Markie Cameron (Violett Beane) to join her, her boyfriend Lucas Moreno (Tyler Posey),and friends in Mexico. Carter (Landon Liboiron) comes to her rescue with annoying Ronnie at the bar. Carter leads her group to an abandoned church and suggests playing Truth or Dare.
There is a kernel of a horror within this premise. It needs an exposition early on from Carter to lay down the rules of the road. Without it, the first half is way too slow. It struggles to be actually scary. It's like Final Destination without the campy cheesy kills. It needs to be serious but it can never be serious. The premise may be functionally unhorrorfiable. It isn't campy kills. It's not fun. It exists in a non-fun, non-scary horror zone.

Unoriginal and Laughable Storyline
I believe any mediocre writer can buy unoriginal and laughable storylines like "Truth or Dare" with dots to be filled in accordance with the wished situation and maybe a list of films to be seen with the same storyline to give inspiration to the aspirant writer.
A group of __ friends go to ___ and they bring a curse ______ with them. Along the story, ___ will die while the survivors try to find a way to break the curse. Question: will they succeed? (Y) or (No). In case of no, there will be an annex with cliffhangers for the sequel. The End.
The storyline of "Truth or Dare" is exactly the same as described above, filling the dots with 6 - Mexico - of Truth and Dare - 3 - (No).
Based on the IMDb reviews, some people seem to have liked (maybe parents, relatives, friends etc.) or are paid to promote the annoying story. Check with your friends first before wasting your leisure time (and money) watching this garbage. My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "Verdade ou Desafio" ("Truth or Dare")
