HalloSCREAM! 2020 Part 05: DVD Preview - The Dare

Updated: Oct 6, 2020

Lionsgate Pictures present The Dare this Halloween on Digital Download and DVD. It's a twisted little tale of revenge and torture which is just right for this time of year! I'm going to have a look at the DVD edition, let's check out the trailer!

On a rare family night for Jay, things take a rather brutal twist when he is kidnapped, and he wakes up chained to the wall of a squalid basement with three other prisoners. When their evil and sadistic captor emerges, his face hidden under some kind of gruesome skin mask, Jay soon realizes that their time is short and also very quickly running out. Jay must now engage in a twisted battle of survival to solve the puzzle of his imprisonment, unmask their tormentor, and save the lives of his family and the people he is trapped with. Pulling no punches with its shocking and bloody story of survival, The Dare is a bold and brutal horror-thriller packed with sickening twists and gory shocks. This one is not for the faint-hearted, The Dare will have you on the edge of your seat this Halloween.

If you are after some new torture porn for your Halloween viewing pleasure this year, then this really isn't too bad. It feels like watching something that is a combination of Hostel and Saw but with fewer events of gore. That's not to say that there are not good gore pieces, but they are not as extreme.

The story is quite interesting, flicks back and forth, and it was an odd one, but still good. The ending does leave it open for a sequel, but to be honest, I really hope they do not make a sequel as the story as it is would be fine, let's not have yet more sequels, please.



The Dare...it is a fun watch, with torture and revenge, and not bad for a movie night if you are going to do a double bill.

The Dare is on Digital Download 5 October and DVD 12 October from Lionsgate UK. Pre-order your DVD From Amazon HERE
