10 Terrible Horror Movies With Amazing Concepts

Blumhouse's Truth or Dare might be the all-timer example of an army of screenwriters cooking up an awesome premise for a horror flick and then totally bungling it when it came to, y'know, writing an actually engaging script.

The movie's concept is simple; a group of college students get inadvertently ensnared in a deadly game of truth or dare, where refusing to do what the game asks results in a player's violent demise. It's an immediately attention-grabbing idea for a campy R-rated comedy-horror flick packed with gore in the vein of the Final Destination franchise. But that this ain't.

Ultimately, Truth or Dare completely bungles all that promise amid a gobsmackingly awful script, packed with wooden dialogue and a near-total lack of internal logic. Worst of all, though, it's rated PG-13, meaning the aggressively weak death scenes are very obviously chopped up to within an inch of their life in order to satiate the MPAA.

There's depressingly little here to enjoy beyond the unintentionally cackle-worthy moments and a riotously dumb sequel-baiting ending - which, despite the film's enormous box office success, oddly never led to a follow-up.
