Death Clique (2005)

A group of high school students goes away for the weekend to clean out the home of ones recently deceased grandmother. James invites his foster brother John which causes eye rolls. No one wants John to join them for the weekend because they don't like him.

On the trip, the kids discuss former classmate Bobby Nichols who had been in jail for murdering his entire family. They can't believe he's already been released and a few of the kids fear that he may come after them.

Once at the house, the group relaxes and decide to play Truth or Dare. In the course of the game, they discover that most of them had some kind of connection to Bobby. One girl secretly dated him but tell anyone because he was the school outcast. She was afraid he'd blame her for the time spent in jail since he was actually out with her on night of the murders. She did not testify in his defense because then her friends would know she was dating him. Uh yeah.... maybe you should be worried.

One dare sends one of the guys into the woods to pick wild flowers. Oh no! What an incredibly horrifying dare. Not only is it lame, but it's night, he doesn't have a flashlight, and there were no signs of flowers during the day. When he gets into a fight with someone in the woods, it is too dark to see what is happening or who is involved.

The movie has a low budget, based on the production values and mediocre acting. There is a twist ending which isn't so much of a surprise due to twist endings being so cliched in horror movies.
