10 More Awesome Plot Twists That Totally Saved Terrible Movies

Truth or Dare is a deeply awful horror film in which a supernaturally cursed version of the game causes its participants to end up dead one way or another.

The movie's script is dumb as a brick, full of nonsensical plotting without much in the way of internal logic, hilariously wooden dialogue, poor performances, and unintentionally slapstick-worthy death scenes.

But the screenplay gets one thing right, and that's it's ending. While we as audiences are conditioned to expect that protagonist Olivia (Lucy Hale) will find a way to prevail over the demonic game, she ultimately realises the only way to survive is to prolong it - that is, invite more people to join.

And so, Truth or Dare climaxes with a twist where Olivia uploads a video to YouTube inviting viewers to play, effectively making the game go viral and buying her and her friend Markie (Violett Beane) a ton of time before the curse returns to them.

For a horror movie "hero" to do something so selfish and decidedly un-heroic in the final stretch was a genuine surprise, especially as earlier in the film Olivia made a comment about how she'd choose to save humanity over herself in a disaster scenario. But alas, the truth came out in the end.

This twist set up a sequel which seemed far more interesting than the movie we got, though despite Truth or Dare's massive box office success it hasn't yet materialised.
