Death of Me

I nearly skipped this movie because of the reviews but I like Maggie Q so thought give it a go. Maybe because I didn't expect much it turned out to be quite good. Maggie Q was her usual convincing self in her part , the story line was a bit wicker man but overall enjoyable. Give it a go if your a horror fan you might be surprised.

Trying to communicate with locals who doesn't speak English. Feeling sick. Having horrible visions. Running around the island. Those 4 themes are main building blocks of this movie. Each is repeated dozen of times. I managed to watch it till the end but I advise you not to even try as it is a waste of time.

To be honest not a bad movie , i dont understand all the horrible reviews. it is not an oscar movie, maybe the ending could have been better, but we watched it on a sunday evening and we were entertained.

I'm a big fan of Darren Lynn Bousman. He directed the second, third and fourth instalments in the 'Saw' franchise and played a big role in making it what it was. He's also had some other gems along the way like 2010's 'Mother's Day'. Unfortunately 'Death of Me' is not his strongest work. In fact it's the weakest thing I've seen him put forward. The concept actually had potential which is the disappointing thing, but the way they went about structuring this movie was just horrific.

The movies opens with a very strange and intriguing scene. It left me excited for what the movie had to offer. Then as each revelation slowly came to light the movie became less and less interesting, until around the halfway point where it completely lost me. I tried to remain invested but it was just too hard. If it were not for Maggie Q's performance in the lead role, which she actually gave everything she had to, this movie would've gotten a lot lower rating than a 4/10 from me.

I sometimes see terrible movies that are set on tropical islands and wonder whether they get the stars they do to appear in the movie by the promise of working in paradise for a few months. It's the only way I can imagine them getting Q and Luke Hemsworth to sign on. This is not one I can recommend sadly.

Wow! Just finished watching this movie. Had 0 expectations, ended up really being entertained! Sure, some parts could've been done better, but it kept me interested till the end.
