20 Awesome Horror Villains Introduced In TERRIBLE Movies
3. Calux - Truth or Dare
The actual idea of making a horror film based on the party game Truth or Dare is pretty fun, and in the 2018 namesake it involves a demonic entity named Calux who runs a cursed, often fatal game of Truth or Dare, forcing people to participate against their will.
There was absolutely a way to make this movie work, because the seeds of the concept are solid fodder for a campy, knowingly silly horror-comedy, but of course, it commits the sin of taking itself about 300% too seriously.
Moreover, the PG-13 rating means that the loony, Final Destination-esque death scenes are infuriatingly tame, ensuring the film can't even coast on the insanity of its over-the-top kills.
Calux, you were done dirty by a terrible script and lackluster direction, but you definitely had promise.
Hell, a teased sequel even has the Truth or Dare game going viral around the world, yet despite this film grossing almost $100 million worldwide, it puzzlingly never came to pass.
