Death Clique (2005)

A group of friends head out of town to spend the weekend helping one clean out her grandmothers isolated house. Just before they leave, they learn that Bobby Nichols, an outcast at their school who was arrested for killing his entire family, has been released from jail due to lack of evidence.

The first night the group decides to play Truth or Dare and finds out that they all had some kind of connection to Bobby. When one girl reveals that she was secretly dating Bobby, and could have provided him with an alibi when he was accused of killing his family, the group becomes afraid that Bobby might want revenge.

Shortly after this one of the guys is dared to go into the woods to pick a handful of wild flowers. Seriously? What kind of lame dare is that? It's stupid since it's night, and he doesn't have a flashlight. He wanders deep into the woods and is attacked. During the fight it's too dark to tell who is who, so you have no idea who is getting beaten up.

The kids aren't as mortified as they should be when they find out their friend knew Bobby was innocent of mass murder, but let him go to jail anyway leaving the real killer was on the loose. This is low budget, low production values, and mediocre acting.
