You Die: Get the App, Then Die

Watching or rather comparing two movies with similar themes, especially in the horror genre, can be quite unflattering for one of the movies that are being compared. While this isn't totally bad, it also is not really good either. Bad moments include acting choices, the "evil lurking" and way too many jump scares that surely get way too annoying. And by jump scares I'm being literal: people jumping into frame to scare other people.

Having said that, there are redeeming factors and I'd say especially those who have not seen It follows might find more interesting suspension levels in this, than those who have and might have a higher standard of horror - in many regards. So maybe for some horror heads this will work, but casual watchers should stick to It follows or something else.

I was very curious to watch this movie because it won the Best Cinematography prize at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival in LA. I have to say that it certainly lived up to the expectations. The idea of a killer-app is simple and yet so effective and I couldn't stop watching. I loved the high tension throughout the movie, the moral questions that the movie brings up, and the unexpected ending. I hope there is going to be a sequel.

Firstly, not in english, so an immediate disappointment right there...secondly, overly loud music swells that have you grabbing for the remote every 2 minutes. Finally, i knew in the first minute that it would be awful....an attractive lady, in cutoffs, fishnets, and clog shoes, walking alkne at night in a deserted subway? That just screams lazy filmmaking. Not to mention, the entire thing is cut and edited incoherently and is more intrested in appearing "artistic" than entertaining, or good. If your intrest is in cinemaphotography, thats cool....but stick to your arthouse films and stop tryibg to trick people into seeing your garbage work by calling it horror. The only thing horror aboutvthis film was that it was horrific.

I stumbled onto this gem by accident. The trailer looked good so I took an chance and rented it. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The acting was pretty good and the cinematography was great too. Refreshing angle on ghost genre and the story was good too. Some very creepy scenes. If you liked It Follows you'll enjoy this.

"You Die - Get the app, then die" is a kind of "It Follows" spin-off, not about a demon as a sexual disease that you must throw into other person before it can kill you. This time an app must be unloaded in other person cell phone before a dead person can kill you. This Italian film is full of easy jump scares and then it become a slow film. Some good acting, decent cinematography and an unoriginal script. "You Die - Get the app, then die" is a bad film with some good scenes, but very forgettable. Now there is a film titled "Countdown", a similar one, the filmmakers need new ideas.
