Then those angry teammates will equate your performance to the Golden State Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Take the team scenario: Imagine your teammates have stormed to a huge, three-cup lead and left it all to you, and then you fail to flip the cup eight straight times as the other team mounts an epic comeback and eventually wins. An arbitrary cup-flipping game, when played alongside über-competitive peers, is an absolute nightmare. You literally have to drink some alcohol (most likely beer) out of a Solo cup, successfully flip the empty cup, and either move on to another cup or pass the drinking baton to your teammate before the other team finishes with their cups. The most haunting aspect of Flip Cup is its simplicity. Jackson will have warned the horny teens that 56 people have previously died in the closet, but they wouldn’t listen, because they are horny teens. Seven minutes on the outside equates to seven years of torture in the closet, where the unsuspecting victims are suddenly like, “How did this closet get so damn cold?!” Also, unlike Spin the Bottle, choosing who’s thrown into the closet is down to your asshole friends instead of an impartial bottle.įor a horror film, a Seven Minutes in Heaven premise could turn into something like Stephen King’s 1408: The closet itself is haunted and capable of unimaginable atrocities. There are myriad outcomes here, and all of them are weird: You could kiss someone or do something slightly more risqué in a very short amount of time, or you can both stand there awkwardly and do nothing as seven minutes feels in all likelihood like seven hours. Seven Minutes in Heaven is like a heightened version of Spin the Bottle-instead of merely kissing someone in the confines of a group circle, you’re thrown into a closet with another person for seven minutes. Blumhouse, I’m expecting a commission-thank you. What if a *possessed* bottle, which some high school friends spun to kiss one another, was the catalyst for a zombie-like breakout that spread with each fatal kiss? It’s like that weird dream sequence in It Comes at Night, only freakier. Sorry, sorry-I’ll bring this stuff to therapy.Īnyway, Spin the Bottle can easily be a horror movie. Nothing says “I’m living in my own personal hell” more than being coerced into kissing your platonic female friend and getting your discolored braces stuck in their teeth, thereby ruining that friendship before you even thought about girls being cute. Twelve-year-old me was not a fan of Spin the Bottle. They are more subtle than colored braces, but if you drink coffee or soda, it looks like your teeth are stained. Have you ever played Spin the Bottle in the midst of peak facial acne and transparent braces? (A quick note: Do not get transparent braces.
What’s not to hate? You need a large group of your friends to sit in a circle, spin a bottle-or in 2018, there’s probably an app for that-and depending on the rules, you have to kiss the person it lands on.
Also, one Ringer staffer has her own uncomfortable party story to share that deserves its own commendation. With that in mind, here are five other party games that Blumhouse could mine for similar thrills-so long as they know the real terrors came from human insecurity and not silly looking faces.

Those wack Snapchat filters aren’t making my skin crawl, but the idea of being dared to chug sour milk or risk being impaled by a fireplace poker? Hard pass. But maybe Blumhouse is onto something: Party games can actually be very scary-scary as in, they induce a lot of real-life anxiety for introverted people like myself who want to just be left the hell alone. Suffice to say, with its current 21 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare is no Get Out. (Jury’s still out on whether it’s scary or unintentionally hilarious.)

I’m not sure what my favorite part of this movie is-that Blumhouse Productions is so high off the success of Get Out that they’ve decided to plug its fucking name into its titles like a glorified Tyler Perry the fact that the premise is literally about playing a cheesy party game or that when characters get possessed, their faces contort into some messed-up Snapchat filter.
