    Acceptable time waster

    College kids looking for cash join drug trials. The main side effect is precognition. And the future doesn't look bright.

    A little slow at times, a little bit, "Who cares?", but Tell Me How I Die is also sometimes charming, and the dialogue is occasionally interesting. This isn't a movie made for Oscars, it's a movie based around giving young people something easy and moderately enjoyable to watch. It meets those modest ambitions. (And, to contradict an earlier reviewer, the ending makes plenty of sense.) It's not good enough to say, "Go see it!" But it's not bad enough to say, "Don't." And there are enough sort-of-new ideas in this that I'm looking forward to the filmmakers' next projects. If they can come up with a better story line, with a bit more to fill up 90 minutes, they should be able to make something genuinely good.

    Well made for its target

    By the title I mean this is in the same stream of horror as I Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legend etc. If those 2 are good movies for you than this will be just the ticket. Not quite the attention to detail that a film such as Final Destination has or the stars as featured in I Know... Has the same style of writing and is made for the very same audience as the mentioned movies, undoubtedly. I could easily believe they used lighting, cameras, makeup from the same movie studios, though I didn't bother to check the credits. The premise was pretty good as was my main reason for watching, having a sci-fi vibe. However, nothing very clever was made of it only used to set the scenarios really. A shame as it would have given this a more memorable story-line. As it stands it is fairly forgettable. It is a reasonable time killer if you have nothing else that needs doing and just want to lay back in front of your screen.

    Great intriguing movie...untill the end

    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.

    Moved along nicely and then disappointed

    This movie started out great, continued to intrigue with a decent story, the suspense kept building up nicely, and then it completely fell apart towards the end.

    The only explanation I can think of is that they burned up the budget shooting the first 3/4 of the movie and only had about $100 left to shoot the last quarter. That, or perhaps some competent people working on it were fired with just a quarter of the movie left and then it was finished by a group of third graders?

    The acting overall wasn't too bad and the scenery and cinematography was above average, which is why it's a shame it finished out so poorly, but it did.

    For a Horror, Mystery, Sci-fi movie this was mediocre at most.

    It started really slow ,, then midway ,, i kinda felt the action and the mystery unravels .. even thought it was sooo predictable ,, it had a bit of vague expectation for the ending ,, but then the ending comes and it was Meh..

    The cast was a serious mess ,, it felt like they don't like acting or their parents force them to go to art school , no idea ,, but not to be harsh ,, they weren't engaging and connecting much whether with the camera or among each other.

    I would finally say,, not really recommended,, and definitely not recommended for those who love timeline past/future sci-fi movies because it will disappoint
