Mañana me muero

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.

Oh dear, oh dear... What did I just watch?

I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "She Dies Tomorrow", as I was initially lured in by the movie's title. Sure, I had no prior knowledge about the movie, nor did I know what it was about. But I liked the title and the movie's cover/poster, plus the fact that it was a new movie that I hadn't already seen also helped to convince me to sit down and watch writer and director Amy Seimetz's "She Dies Tomorrow".

Well, I didn't even make it halfway through, then I simply gave up on the movie out of immense boredom. This movie was abysmal to sit through. The storyline was just a random heap of... Well, you get my meaning here. And it was a massive swing and a miss in terms of managing to entertain me.

I am sure that the actors and actresses in the movie were doing adequate jobs, but I cared so little about the characters, given the fact that the storyline and plot was utter rubbish, so I didn't invest any interest in the pointless characters.

"She Dies Tomorrow" was boring and odd, but not in a good way or enjoyable odd. The movie was just downright strange.

My rating of the 2020 movie from writer and director Amy Seimetz lands on a mere one out of ten stars. This was seriously one of the most pointless and boring movies I have had the misfortune of stumbling upon in a long, long time. And I can honestly say that there is a snowball's chance in Hell of me returning to watch the rest of the movie.

Cause this film really felt like I'm being trolled. But I am going to approach this film seriously because in some way I can relate.

The film had a promising start, and I was interested in what this film is going to be about. Was it going to be about a destructive depression? Maybe about how this state affects the main lead or her closest ones? Well, no.

The film is just a mess of half-baked philosophical ideas that go nowhere and a bunch of "you know what would've looked cool" scenes with good music. I wouldn't call it artsy since they seemed to have a basic understanding of what they wanted to show and I understand that (it's easy to understand some of the basic allegories). Although some scenes are intentionally stretched out to get the film to full feature-length. And don't get baited on the reviews that say that this film is deep, I have seen internet videos and conversations on the themes of the film that were much more deep and compelling.

The film had no ending, it seems that for some reason (maybe writing themselves into a corner) the film had a different ending than whatever was planned since there were lots of weird cuts and the ending felt very disconnected. So, I am assuming they had no idea how to finish this or the ending was re-shot.

The idea of contagious suicidal thoughts did not impress me at all since I've seen a small film called Pontypool (2008) and it was great.

The tones of mortality and the meaningless efforts of trying to fill your life with anything you deem (or convince yourself) important are very mishandled. I mean, you can achieve a better story with the core idea of "anesthesia of life" that people administer onto themselves, like career, children, hobbies, anything on that matter. The writing was just too unrefined and raw, the dialogue and the delivery were so bizarre and out of place that I seriously thought I am being trolled. The script could've used more work. As nonsensical as it sounds, the film had real potential.

I know my depression, I had thoughts of me dying tomorrow many times, this is just not it, this is not how this works. This is not smart writing. Futility and mortality are handled so much better if you project those through a well-written character, the best example I can think of is Rust Cohle from True Detective (Season 1).

The film was short, not intentionally, but because they didn't know how to write the ideas into the story.

I rated this film 3 stars for some visuals and ideas, but it ultimately disappointed me because I saw the potential in it. They should've spent more time and effort on this.

I cannot recommend this to general audiences or horror fans, because this is not a good psychological thriller or horror, and this is not a good film altogether. I'm sorry.

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.
