Type: Psychological Thriller, Horror
Review:
Awesome Thrillers is 1 month old today and for this special occasion , I thought I should share with you something really heavy, hard-hitting and very well made.
Truth or Die (formerly Truth or Dare) is a hell of a thriller, I've noticed that a lot of websites are labeling it as a Horror movie and it true that it has some Horror movie elements but overall I think it fits more in the Psychological Thriller basket. Anyway it's one of the very few movies that I enjoyed watching from the opening title to the closing credits, it has all what it takes to make it one of the best thriller movies of 2012.

So what's so awesome about Truth or Die?
Let's start with the plot, Truth or Die starts with a party thrown by some college friends to celebrate the end of the term, the anthem "Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n Roll" is maybe the best way to describe the few first scenes. Things went wrong when they started a truth or dare game as Felix (Tom Kane), a very shy and introvert guy embarrassed himself and got humiliated after revealing a truth that his friend Chris (Jack Gordon) didn't enjoy hearing, Felix ended the party with a sore nose.
This little game will have a huge impact on the events to come, as Felix's friends were invited to his birthday party few months later where another game of Truth or Dare took place only this time their life were at stake.
This movie is so much fun to watch, the acting is high quality, and for the first half of it you'd think you're watching a typical Horror film since it's obvious that there will be blood and cat and mouse games, but it's gets more awesome as it starts playing with your mind and the twists unravel one after one.
You'd definitely see a lot of similarities between Truth or Die and SAW movies which I think is a great thing, it's not just another pale copy, it's original and well-crafted.
