and of course our very lovely Director Jessica Cameron...

Jessica states that:

I’m phenomenally excited to tackle my very first film as a producer and co-writer. If only I could find a director who wasn’t scared of the material. After all, when it comes to the torture porn genre, is there really such a thing as ‘too far’ or ‘too much?’

Six students become internet sensations when they film truth or dare videos with a violent theme; but they all seem to have something to hide.

The film eludes Saw style gornography or torture porn. The events slowly become unhinged and the truth can kill you; it’s not just a game anymore! This film is unpredictable, with twists in the right places and alluring visual art for the horror and gore fans. Truth or Dare will have you squeaking in your seats.

British Indie Horror cinema is coming through thick and fast now; this will be one to watch out for.

If you like the look of this take a look at their other pages on IMDB, IndieGoGo to see how you can get involved and take a nosey at their official Facebook and twitter pages.

Enjoy…I know I will.
