Movies that feel likeTruth or Dare (2018)

A harmless game of "Truth or Dare" among friends turns deadly when someone—or something—begins to punish those who tell a lie—or refuse the dare.

If you loved Truth or Dare, the closest films we have are Oculus (2014), The Pool (2018) and [REC]⁴ Apocalypse (2014). All three share Truth or Dare's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is When Evil Lurks (2023).
