Tell Me How I Die (2016)

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Really exciting, intense and does make you watch to the end. It messes with your head and really makes you think, very psychological which is why I love it because it makes it unpredictable. It's probably aimed at a more teenage/young adult audience which may be why many reviews aren't as good. The ending does definitely make sense contradicting other comments. I'd recommend mainly for the age group mentioned earlier :)

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.

This was a pretty good spin on a thriller - being in a clinical trial for a new drug that targets "feelings". However, it drags on and on with future flashes and then back to where it started that you get dizzy thinking "If you know what's gonna happen, then why not try and avoid it". However you then realize it's like telling a teenager not to text while behind the wheel, only for them to be in a horrible car wreck because...you guessed it, they were texting behind the wheel. In other words, yah just can't tell people not to do something. Even if they know they'll die doing it. The acting wasn't too terrible. There were plenty of times I rolled my eyes at the execution or timing of the script. That just kindah goes with the territory of a thriller - they almost get it right but not always. I won't chalk this up to a total waste of time as there were a few moments that make you go hmmmmm, but overall, especially during the ending you wonder why yah stuck it out as surely you could tell the future that things weren't gonna end on a good note so why bother. But then again, yah just can't tell someone that (not even yourself) cuz even if they know the flicks not gonna end good they still dedicate the time spent knowing they'll never be able to get that time back. This review may seem like going over the same circle but be forewarned, it's exactly what you'll take away from this 4 out of 10 flick/mess. You may ask yourself why 4, why not 2 or 3 if I didn't like it. Well, I'm sick of indie flicks that are done on a 2 or 3 thousand dollar budget and this one appeared as though they spent some money on clothes, location, setting, lighting, and more then 3 characters which was refreshing.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was suspenseful and intriguing. Before I watched the movie, I knew it was going to be low budget, so my expectations were a bit different. For a low budget film, I believe it was really good and would recommend the movie. There were a few mistakes, but I believe they can be overlooked without taking a viewer too much out of immersion. The only thing I didn't like was the very end. I don't want to give it away, but I feel like there could have been more detail of what happened to the characters. Perhaps they were trying to leave things as unsettling, but I feel like it was more annoying/a plot hole that wasn't filled in. But most horror stories are like that, and the rest of the movie was pretty good. As a result, I gave the movie a 9 out of 10. I would watch it again.
