Tell Me How I Die (2016) Reviews

• Moved along nicely and then disappointed

  randymcbeast2016-09-16

  This movie started out great, continued to intrigue with a decent story, the suspense kept building up nicely, and then it completely fell apart towards the end. The only explanation I can think of is that they burned up the budget shooting the first 3/4 of the movie and only had about $100 left to shoot the last quarter. That, or perhaps some competent people working on it were fired with just a quarter of the movie left and then it was finished by a group of third graders? The acting overall wasn't too bad and the scenery and cinematography was above average, which is why it's a shame it finished out so poorly, but it did.

• Starts good..then goes downhill

  blackmirror-024502016-09-19

  The movie starts out very good; you go into it expecting a good "who done it?" type of thriller, but then it goes downhill with the suspect killing people for no good reason (that is revealed in the movie anyway), it quickly became Michael Myers in Halloween movie . The suspect offers the scientist a choice, then after killing 99% of the people participating in the study he still goes ahead and kills the scientist anyway. Why bother kill all those people then, then leave alive the person with the highest drug dose in her system? The movie ends with too many questions, even the killers motive is uncertain at the end of the movie.

• Promising and Intriguing Beginning, Awful Conclusion

  claudio_carvalho2016-10-11

  The unemployed waitress Anna (Virginia Gardner) joins a group of college student in the isolated facility of the Hallorann Laboratory to participate in the research of Dr. Jerrems (William Mapother) to improve the memory and raise some money. Dr. Jerrems explains that only half of them will be injected with the drug – the other half will be injected with harmless placebo. Anna befriends Den (Nathan Kress), Kristen (Kirby Bliss Blanton) and Marcus (Mark Furze) and soon Marcus and Kristen are affected by an unexpected side effect and have the ability to see the future. Anna is also affected and discovers that she can see the other youngsters dying and Dr. Jerrems locks her in a room. Meanwhile a stranger breaks in the facility and there is bloodshed in the place. Den, Marcus, Kristen and Scratch (Ryan Higa) try to flee but Den wants to save Anna. Who might be the killer and what is his motive? "Tell me How I Die" is a low-budget horror movie with a promising and intriguing beginning but also with an awful conclusion. The idea of a drug that gives the ability to see the future should be better explored instead of using the stupid clichés of the genre. My vote is three. Title (Brazil): Not Available.

• Acceptable time waster

  vasiln2016-09-29

  College kids looking for cash join drug trials. The main side effect is precognition. And the future doesn't look bright. A little slow at times, a little bit, "Who cares?", but Tell Me How I Die is also sometimes charming, and the dialogue is occasionally interesting. This isn't a movie made for Oscars, it's a movie based around giving young people something easy and moderately enjoyable to watch. It meets those modest ambitions. (And, to contradict an earlier reviewer, the ending makes plenty of sense.) It's not good enough to say, "Go see it!" But it's not bad enough to say, "Don't." And there are enough sort-of-new ideas in this that I'm looking forward to the filmmakers' next projects. If they can come up with a better story line, with a bit more to fill up 90 minutes, they should be able to make something genuinely good.

• Never take shrooms kids.

  Okay, so if u watched any of the Final Destination movies it is clear that this movie was inspired by it. It still manages to stand in its own right however. As in Final Destination someone can see the future, but it is not because of the supernatural but because of some drug that is still being tested. Naturally, because it is a horror movie, the visions are of the other characters dying. After they learn that is true what they are experiencing they of course try to counter it and, just like in Final Destination, cheat their deaths. For the story of this movie the environment actually makes sense, and if you watch the movie you will understand why it is not all over the world like Final Destination. I think that it is not bad that a movie gets inspired by another movie, as long as it is done well. And to honestly tell you, this movie is.
