She Dies Tomorrow

15 minutes into it and I am totally bored and falling asleep. I should have read these reviews first.

I like visually interesting art house-ish type of stuff, but this was just boring with no pay off. It's just poor story telling. Save your time and skip this one.

It's like mixing the taste of a modern film student with the "can't write an ending" constipation of Stephen King. Only in this case there wasn't even an attempt at an ending.

I really appreciate the ideas this movie portrays. I believe this movie is commentary on nihilism. How nihilism can be very contagious, and can be easily spread like a disease. It was an interesting, and very important topic that not a lot of films explore. However I was just so bothered how needlessly repetitive and annoying the presentation was. there were so many scenes that attempted an experimental artistic style that came across as cringe-worthy. there was Nothing that was emotionally deserved in this movie, and I wished Amy Seimetz would've just develop the ideas and story more. Instead this movie just feels so static and lifeless, and when it was finished I wasn't at all satisfied.

There were definitely decent ideas and concepts going into this movie, like I said the subject matter and the topic was really interesting. Although I was just disappointed at this attempted artistic expression that in the end came across as pretentious.

5/10

This movie has an interesting premise. Beginning of the movie was good, but later on it lost its charm. Simply because there were never introduced the rules of what was happening. Filmmakers probably wanted it to be ambiguous, but it came across as not thought through. There is quite good buildup for the mystery of "dying tomorrow", but it has no payoff. The ideas that filmmakers are presenting to viewers aren't original or too much of thought provoking material. Overall, I was disappointed. Premise, cast, good reviews from critics - it was all for nothing in the end.

What if a sense of impending doom was transmittable? There. I just saved you 85 minutes.

There are no characters you care about, there aren't any deep interesting conversations, there aren't any events that take place. The promise of an atmosphere glimmers occasionally but nothing comes of it.

I think the cinematography was trying to be artsy but it came of as lazy. The main music choice that plays on repeat countless times is frankly absurd for a serious horror movie in 2020. However, that in addition to the editing, which had a downright comedic timing, make me think this is supposed to be a dark comedy. Either way it fails.

A short movie stretched to its absolute limits to get to feature length.
