Hey,

This is the Chris who was shouted out at the beginning of this review! I’m glad I could inspire one of my childhood brothers to get into some of the sick and twisted shit I was into. I still can’t believe my Mom let me watch movies like this when I was 9 and 10. Thank God for bad, unsupervised parenting! I love you Mom! This movie is a classic. Today’s 9 and 10 year old’s could never appreciate a movie like this!

I thought this movie was awesome, compared to the shot on video stuff of nowadays. At least it’s fairly original and delivers the grue! There’s actually quite a big fan base for this series, especially the first two movies. WICKED GAMES is great- especially the German “Snuff” Edition edited by Kruspe Doom, I don’t believe it’s seen a U.S. release yet, but you can acquire it at conventions and such. The scene where the topless girl falls on a sprinkler after being stabbed and it comes on, gushing out blood, just has to be seen to be believed, especially in SNUFF’s hallucinatory framework. Good stuff for the gore fans. Didn’t care for SCREAMING FOR SANITY, it was LONG WINDED and really cheap looking (bad when a video movie is noticeably cheapjack!!!) and the FX were subpar for the series. But I’m a big fan of the first two movies, something about TRUTH OR DARE really resonates with me, it’s instense and wild. They also just released a documentary on the making of the first movie that you can watch in its entirety over at Youtube. Like or hate the movie, the doc is most interesting for filmmakers especially, it’s all on the set crap: http://www.youtube.com/user/truthordaremovies

There are actually a couple sequels to this movie, but I don’t know if I have the stomach to sit through them, though. Maybe I’ll gather up the strength to tackle them someday.

I can’t believe someone else has seen this movie… my sister and I rented this YEARS ago to laugh at at a birthday party. The parts that I always remembered were the mace to the face of the old woman (looked like grape jelly), and the drive-by chainsaw… LOL!

Oh, and the fact that he made the mask in metal shop… metal shop at a mental institution. Brilliant!!!

I remember going to my local drugstore (The Rx Place) with my mom and renting cheap VHS tapes. I remember being drawn to this one because of the picture of a guy with the slashed up face on the back of the box. A

The drive-by chainsawing is the only thing that really stuck in my head. Your review brought back a lot of memories of the movie.
