Not to be confused with the more popular adult film of the same name, though the theming is similar…

It starts out like most movies with a group of friends playing a game that seems mostly harmless. Answering questions in a fun social card game, that turns very personal and somewhat criminal, one for each friend.

A year after this fun game is played, the group of friends is back together again, and the game is brought to the forefront again, this time with fatal consequences. It’s a lot like one of the previous movies I’ve watched lately (I mean look at any of the ones based on the Truth or Dare game, it’s basically the same thing here, but with a bit more anonymity).

Honestly, I will give this film a bit more credit as it does have a slightly better way of playing out the plot. I like the twist (I’ll admit to a morbid and twisted sense of humor) and the ending.

My Rating: ★★★
