Truth or Die (2012)

Truth or Die is a fairly unpleasant movie about unpleasant people.  A game of Truth or Dare goes horribly wrong when awkward Felix picks truth and is forced to admit the girl he'd want to be with is Gemma. Her boyfriend Chris gets all alpha, although really he's not alpha at all. He's just insecure and aggressive.  In retaliation for Felix finding his girlfriend attractive, Chris humiliates Felix who runs out of the room.

Later on they all get an invite to a birthday party for Felix. Even though they don't really like Felix, they attend because they've heard his father is rich.  But when they arrive, they find the main house is closed, the caretaker doesn't know they were coming, and eventually they are told the party is down the dirt road which they'll have to walk.

At the end of the road is a small house where they meet the Felix's brother. They also find out they are the only ones invited because his brother wants to know who sent Felix the postcard that made him want to take his own life. Here comes the torture.

There are no likable people in this film. Even worse at the end, you find out one person was even more vile than you thought, and there is no penalty for their horrible actions.
