Review of Tell Me How I Die

I thought the trailer looked pretty interesting. It's kind of like a different take on the Final Destination story or it could be a slasher. The cast has some interesting choices like Ryan Higa from the comedy section of Youtube, Nathan Kress from ICarly fame, and Mark Rolston. It's directed by D.J. Viola who has one other movie that probably no one has ever heard of. The same goes for the writers here. So let us see what these unknown storytellers got under their sleeves.

I was wondering where that beginning was going. That was a very interesting way to open. Now that's something I can get behind. I would definitely like to be able to remember some things exactly as they were. See I always want to do stuff like this, but who knows what their real intentions are. Those are some really cool pool balls lol. Ah yes it's already getting interesting! It was basically a PG-13 slasher version of Final Destination. The writing is ridiculous at times. The concept is fairly interesting though. It's a bit too long with a lackluster ending.

The characters were all pretty decent. I could compare them sort of to the Final Destination characters. Anna is the Alex Browning type. Den would be the Clear Rivers. Kristen would be Terry Chaney. Scratch is Billy Hitchcock. Marcus would definitely be Carter Horton. Dr. Jerrems would be kind of a Bludworth. I would say they are pretty damn close to identical in personalities. With that being said I generally liked all the characters. I thought they had their own interesting quirks about them.

It has wacky writing at times and it gets a little corny. The acting isn't all that bad. Even Ryan Higa does a decent job here. The characters were familiar, but likable. It's a fun enough concept to keep you interested. If it was shorter, had better writing, and an R rating I think it could have been much more entertaining. If you watch Final Destination first you probably won't like this too much. If you watch this first you may like it more. I thought it was a decent watch. It's not great though.
