Truth or Dare is the latest horror film from Jason Blum, the producer of Paranormal Activity, Insidious and Get Out, and it looks like the movie could have teens swearing off playing the game ever again when it turns on a group of friends, forcing them to ruin each others lives by either revealing their darkest secrets or killing them.
