The core idea is nothing new but a good thriller it could have been had it not been for some really bad screenplay, lame idiotic dialogues, dumb characters and most importantly very very bad acting.
I was thoroughly engaged with this movie untill the final 10 minutes where it seems the writer just gave the script to a 3 year old and told them to finish it. It's truely a shame too because this movie is much better than the score it currently has and i highly recommend it to those wanting a solid and interesting thriller.
The acting in this movie is good and the story is also good, i found myself wanting to know more. Sadly some Visual effects are not quite as good but one thing this movie does well is its pacing. Plot details and reveals happen just frequently enough to keep you interested and guessing what might happen at the end...
Sadly the ending is the weakest point of this movie. There is several ways the conclusion could of played out and i would of been happy with a somewhat guessable cliche ending but we are treated to neither. It builds up superbly and completely fizzles out to nothing at the end. I recommend creating a different ending in your mind from the infomation the movie gives because it would increase this movie from a 6/10 to a 8/10.

I remember back in 2000 when 'Final Destination' came out picking it up at the DVD (video?) store and having very low expectations for it. It then proceeded to blow me away, and is still one of my favourite horror movies to this day. I've now had a very similar experience with 'Tell Me How I Die', which also happens to be a similar film in terms of story line. I really didn't have high hopes for this movie at all going in, but it managed to pleasantly surprise me, and short of a slightly better ending, this could have been something great.
The concept of seeing the future (namely your's and other's deaths) and trying to change fate really can make for an interesting movie. Obviously it's not possible in real life, so there are no set rules the film is forced to follow. This adds more layers of intrigue.
The only thing I would have liked to see was the movie go out with a slightly darker and more memorable ending. The final 15 minutes are actually very clever and well put together, but it was just lacking that gut-busting kicker that would have made it stick with the audience a little longer.
Very few modern horror movies manage to have any effect on me whatsoever, and consequently just come across insatiably boring. That was not the case with 'Tell Me How I Die'. For whatever reason I genuinely cared about the fate of these characters and was intrigued by the story. If you're like me and want to make sure you don't miss any remotely good horror movies released today, because they are so rare, then make sure you check out 'Tell Me How I Die'. I suspect you'll be happy you did.

This movie had flash forwards and medical experimentation so of course it was going to be a winner. I just knew it would be good from the trailer.
Its an interesting film and an enjoyable ride. The worst thing a movie can be is boring and this movie was never once boring, it was a solid, consistent, enjoyable movie.
The only thing that annoyed me is The lead girl because she's was kind of just the basic generic girl in a dirty white vest and jeans being chased character but other than that it was good.
7/10
Its a better Final Destination than 90% of the Final Destinations.

For a low budget film, the story was good, actors were good, and the idea was semi original. It's not brilliant, but it's not terrible either, perfect for one of those "I want to watch a movie, but I don't know what I want to watch" kind of days.
