Why is truth or dare such a hit in cinema?
The intriguing concept
Everyone knows the game of truth or dare, which makes it a perfect subject for movies. We can all relate. Who hasn’t felt that mix of excitement and apprehension while playing? Truth or dare movies exploit these emotions to the fullest, sometimes even pushing it a bit too far ! 😅
A Truth or Dare movie is the ideal playground for creating suspense and plot twists. Screenwriters love to play with our nerves by taking the concept of truth or dare to the extreme.
The history of truth or dare films
The first movies inspired by the concept of truth or dare appeared in the 80s. Back then, the game was often used as a secondary plot element to create moments of tension or humor. These were more like references or anecdotes…
It was really in the 2000s that the genre exploded. Truth or dare movies became a subgenre in their own right, especially in horror and thriller. Filmmakers realized that the game could be the main driver of a captivating story.

Movies inspired by the game
“Love Me If You Dare” (2003): Love, truth or dare style (a bit of sweetness is nice too)
This French film doesn’t directly talk about truth or dare, but it’s strongly inspired by it. Two childhood friends challenge each other throughout their lives, creating a sort of truth or dare game that lasts for years. It’s both touching and intense!
“Would You Rather” (2012): The concept pushed to the extreme
Another film that doesn’t bear the name “Truth or Dare” but takes up the idea of the “Would You Rather” game, but the choice (often horrible) must be carried out. The characters have to make terrible choices to win a large sum of money. It’s like a nightmarish version of the game!
Why “Truth or Dare 2” won’t see the light of day
Despite its box office success, the 2018 “Truth or Dare” movie received mixed reviews. Some loved it, others found the concept too far-fetched.
Director Jeff Wadlow had ideas for a sequel, but the project didn’t come to fruition. It seems the studio preferred to focus on other projects, perhaps feeling that the concept had already been fully exploited in the first film.
