DieRy (2020) User Reviews

A Fun Millenial Horror Thriller

[ahicks-2 · 7/10 · 30 August 2020]

"DieRy" is light horror mystery done with style. It's mysterious because of its ingeniously set and resolved puzzles. It's horrific because grisly deaths accumulate. It's light because it has some of the breeziness of 1990's teen scarefests like" I Know What You Did Last Summer." (No, it's not quite a Hitchcock-lite classic like "Charade.") The performances are excellent, most especially lead Claudia Maree Mailer's turn both as a vivid millennial beauty plagued by childhood trauma and more recent stalking, Ciaran Byrne as a dynamic PI and screen writer John B. Mailers brief turn channeling father Norman Mailer channeling a redneck. The evocation of Generation X and Y culture with a strong social media dimension will be a kind of comfort food for some viewers and a source of amusing anthropological color for others

It was pretty good but they left too may unanswered questions.

I came in this movie expecting it to be a typical stalker film but as the film went by it started to actually get interesting. However, towards the end of the film is where it began to fall apart. After she gets saved by the help, she ended up becoming a best selling author which didn't really make sense after she was focusing on religion at her college. Another thing is what ever happened to that detective that questioned her about the murder of that photographer? What happened to her ex? What happened to the main antagonist lover? Where did her best friend go? Who was that helper really? Left too many plot holes unfulfilled. But I enjoyed the twist but thought she should still be punished for her crimes.
