Review: (#1 & #2) Sure, it takes an element from the trailer, but it does so effectively. Looking at the characters from the inside of the computer screen is an effective way to explain the trailer’s premise.

(#3-#8) A series of posters depicting attractive people enjoying the dares that have been put to them. This type of advertising might even work to sell a game like this to modern consumers. (#9) Going with the neon potency of the first two designs, this primary poster design is perfectly fitting to the film even if not very complex. (#10-#17) These colorful designs would look great on a movie theater wall, even though they aren’t particularly inventive outside of their bright, exuberant colors.

Trailer Rating: B

Review: While the film doesn’t exactly feel fresh, there’s a uniqueness to the premise that should encourage viewership.
