Truth or Die (II) (2012)
1/10
Yeah, I'll absolutely give away the ending
7 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This film isn't worth watching. At its core, it's a British torture porn flick (and a mild one at that, as far as torture porn goes) that's not-subtly-at-all about homophobia and, on a more surface level, bullying and greed.

The character at the center of this all is bullied by a group of awful people, who also have one decent person in their friendship circle (because the movie had to have at least one, otherwise she'd never give any of these people the time of day under normal circumstances). When he's humiliated more than once in an evening, including both physical and sexual assault, and blackmailed for money as a result of it... he eventually attempts suicide, but survives with severe damage leaving him mute and mostly immobile.

His older brother, the army vet who can't stand even the mention of anything remotely "queer," decides the awful people deserve a game of Psycho Truth or Dare in response to their actions toward his brother. So, the long and the short of it is:

  • Battery acid shows up a few times. And there are some off-camera gun shots. But if you're watching this for the gore, skip it.


  • Everybody except for two of the awful people end up dead, including the worst of the bunch. So, if you're watching it for revenge, skip it.


  • Lastly, damn near every line uttered is ridiculous. So, if you're looking for a decent character study, skip the hell out of this one.
