Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a horror film: "The Dare"！
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care
The movie starts one evening,
where the young father Jay Jackson is playing with his two young daughters,
Poppy and Molly Jackson, while telling them a scary story
Later that night, Jess, Jay's wife, stops him from continuing the scary story,
and tells the girls it is time for bedtime
During that time,
Jay has a conversation with Jess about a conference that could set their family up for life
however, Jess dismisses it as she wants the father to spend more time with his daughters
This scene portrays that Jay wants to give his family the best life they can live;
while Jess shows more importance for family bonding,
and is already content with the life they live as of now
As the conversation ends, Jess heads straight downstairs to have a glass of wine,
while an ominous hooded figure stands by the window, possibly harbouring malicious intent
This foreshadows horrific events to come, or maybe he just wants to greet his neighbour
As Jay heads downstairs, he looks for a book,
that he previously promised to read for his daughters as a bedtime story
While calling out to Jess for assistance, Jay senses a presence outside of his house;
but he dismisses it
Jay informs Jess that he will look for the book inside the family's car
While Jay goes out, he calls out, and asks Jess if she has seen the keys to the car
After looking for the car keys and not finding anything, Jay returns to the house's main door
To his shock, he sees that the door to his house is open
Then, loud noise is heard from the kitchen where Jay rushed towards
Jay sees one of his daughters on the floor with his wife unconscious inside the kitchen
Then suddenly, Jay hears a scream from his other daughter
Worried about a home invasion, Jay brandishes one of the kitchen knives to protect his family
Jay rushes towards his daughters' bedroom, only to hear the door behind him slammed shut
As he approaches his other daughter hiding under the bed,
a set of feet magically pops into the background, and Jay notices it
He gets ready to fight against the intruder, only to get knocked out;
and as his daughter screamed, the scene fades to dark
Jay wakes up in a basement, frantic from the sight of a half-naked wounded man
He worries about his family
The strangers welcome Jay to the place that they called paradise;
and the woman asks him if he saw anything on the way inside
The two other unknown individuals calm him,
by saying that his family are not the hooded figure's targets
A man introduces himself as Adam, and the other woman as Kat
The scene then cuts to a boy sleeping
The boy is having a nightmare of himself trapped
wounded and naked with a brand showing on his left wrist
The nightmare wakes the boy
The room is shown to have a mountain of pig heads that adds to the creepiness of the atmosphere
just then, a creepy uncle opens the door to the room,
and approaches the child to give him a piece of mystery meat
The creepy uncle warns him to behave well, or he will go back to the room the kid dreamed about
As the man leaves, he says to the boy that this is his home now
The next day, the kid is playing in a tub of red liquid that seems like water
The kid runs back to cleaning the place, when he senses the creepy uncle coming back
The scene shows that the place is some sort of slaughterhouse;
and as the uncle finished his butchering,
he gave the kid something that looks like intestines for the market
but the kid catches it poorly, and is then showered in blood from the slaughterhouse
The creepy uncle talks to the kid about his parents abandoning him
The kid is upset and the creepy uncle becomes a father figure to him
He seems emotionally manipulative towards the kid, as he treats the kid submissively
After the flashback scene, Jay asks who the possible culprit of the kidnappings is
He slowly walks over to the wounded man to see clearly that the man could not talk,
because his mouth is sewn shut
Adam then introduces the mute man as Paul, whom Kat weirdly named after her cat
Kat states that Paul doesn't talk much
she probably thinks that Paul is just tired
Jay then asks where Adam and Kat are, before they are brought to paradise
Kat first states she was in a parking lot at night
Adam says that he was working a graveyard shift before his kidnap
Jay notices a bucket with blood
there is also blood on the ground that must've been there for a long amount of time
Suddenly Kat's vibes become creepy
she seems like a crazy woman
Kat says that the slaughterhouse is her playground
Jay is in denial, because he might've been kidnapped for being bad,
and says that it is a mistake as he is a good person by donating blood and doing charity
I believe a psychopath culprit would never care,
and have standards on who will be in its playground
After Jay's rambling of being good, he asks Adam and Kat if they ever talked to the culprit
Adam sarcastically states that he hugged it out with the culprit; and he gave him flowers
Then Jay tries to find a way to escape
The film abruptly cuts to a scene,
where the young kid is going to a secret location out of curiosity
The kid is called out by his creepy father by his name, Dominic
The father felt like he wasn't taken seriously during their lunch
The father disciplines Dominic by stabbing his leg, while Dominic is begging for mercy
As the scene cuts to paradise, we see a glimpse of Mister Piggy overlooking the captives
Mister Piggy signals for feeding time, and mystery meats descend onto the bucket
We then see the hungry and deranged-looking Adam and Kat race for the meat
Kat is still somewhat sane
she at least shares the meat with Adam, and weirdly looks at Jay
Jay then says that they are like the culprit's pets;
and they might have probably been trained for a long time, because they salivate on the raw meat
Jay is then warned by the two to comply, or else he becomes like Paul for disobedience
but Jay states definitely that he will escape or die trying
Knowing that this is a horror movie, the scene offers more anxiety, rather than reassurance
After a while, as Jay tries to loosen his bindings embedded in the wall,
we hear the discussion of Adam and Kat dissing each other for their lacking;
while Jay gets a keychain from Adam, which he uses to lockpick the bindings
he sadly fails, and tries again digging the wall with his nails
As he is digging through the walls with his nails,
his nail dislodges out of his finger, giving him immense pain
This sound really irritates my ears; and it adds to the pain that the film is showing us
After the painful scene, Jay then gets warned by Adam, who also experienced losing his nails before
Jay dismisses his warnings, and goes about to find a bone that he uses to dig
Adam strongly urges against his idea, as it would make the culprit insane if he was caught
Jay states that they are insane; and as he is digging further, he gets provoked again by Adam
Eventually, he finds a skull of something similar to the size of a child
A new scene appears where Dominic is seen observing his new father while cleaning the hallway
His father trims out a piece of skin from the pig head, and startles Dominic
The new father starts giving life advice while playing chess
This was sound fatherly advice, as it was referenced from their game of chess;
but the father is still emotionally manipulative
As his father is asking him a question, the father gets angry, and becomes sick afterwards
Dominic takes the opportunity to run away,
only to be stranded in an isolated, remote area within a forest
Dominic recalls the words of his new father,
then comes around to accept his fate and nurse his sick father
After that event, Dominic and his new father have a closer relationship
After a series of father-son bonding,
Dominic grows curious about the secret room his father goes to
Dominic then has a goal of becoming big and strong
He promises his father not to leave him and become strong
The father later brands himself to feel more connected to Dominic
As the father is sick,
he has a religious conversation about letting blood leave out of bodies to cleanse the evil
The father orders Dominic to stab him in the shoulder; and the father becomes proud
The scene switches to paradise, as Jay suddenly notices a camera in the dark corner of the room
Jay provokes a big and muscular man with many exotic items and creatures to fight him
Jay prepares to face that man and regrets his words
A towering behemoth tortures Paul
Kat is ordered to do the torture
Jay is also ordered to torture; but he resists in vain
He tries to stab the culprit, protected by a thick suit of muscle
Jay gets knocked out
As punishment for Jay's disobedience, Kat is forced to ingest exotic food by Adam;
and she coughs up blood
Another flashback occurs of young Dominic celebrating a birthday
His father gets mood swings, and eventually hugs Dominic
The scene switches back to the present,
where Jay attempts another escape with the razor blade from before
Adam lashes out at Jay for these futile attempts like Paul did
The culprit comes back, and has a staring contest with Jay
Jay rushes out to escape and admits he cannot win
The culprit attacks Kat as Jay continues his escape
Jay finds an unstable vent that breaks down
Jay presses the reset button, and sees Adam and Kat traumatized from the encounter
Paul tries to tell something, and gets dismissed by Adam
As soon as the culprit returns, Adam is ordered to knock out Jay,
and pin his wrists to the wall with nails
A dream emerges in Jay's head, where he sees his wife and him having a funky hormone game
but a jumpscare ruins the passionate act
Jay wakes up, bound to the wall with his arms he cannot feel
As he removes his wrists from the wall, he hallucinates about his wife encouraging him to escape
Kat opposes the idea of escape
Then Paul tears his sewn mouth open, to speak of the brand on the culprit's hand,
which is soon to be discovered as the same brand from Dominic
Then Kat remembers a childhood memory with young Jay, Paul, and Adam on a summer vacation
They encounter the young Dominic,
while young Jay tells a horror story similar to young Dominic's future situation
As young Dominic shows up, he gets bullied by the young Jay, Paul, Adam, and Kat
They dare Dominic; and he gets abducted by his new father
A new scene then shows that Dominic grows up in his teens
and as he has arguments with his father, he searches the secret room his father has
He discovers that his father was lying to him about his mother abandoning him;
and Credence killed his son Henry, as well as Dominic's parents
Dominic tries to run away, but his father catches him
Dominic kicks his father and kills him
The captives convene on how to find a way to apologize to Dominic
after all his suffering because of their bullying
The captives apologize to Dominic
But in response, Dominic tortures them
They experience the same things they did to Dominic when they were kids
Adam gets tortured with a worm in his eye
Then Kat and Jay accidentally kill Adam
Kat becomes guilty; and Dominic grabs her from behind
They are having a conversation about Dominic's past
suddenly, Kat gives birth to many baby spiders
Jay tries to mercy shoot Kat; but Dominic kills her first
Dominic remembers his father's indoctrination in his childhood; and he slowly turns insane
Dominic urges Jay to kill him before it's too late
Dominic goes insane; and Jay kills him
The authorities give Jay a ride home to his wife and daughters
Later On, we could see Jay's daughters grown up, and drinking in the forest with their friends
Dominic abducts them; and the movie ends there
