Horror has never been more alive than it is right now and a lot of that stems from the understated indie gems that come out each and every month. They’re cheap, they’re thrilling, and they’re often some of the best films the genre has to offer. Cheap Thrills aims at highlighting the upcoming indie horror films (and some other interesting movies that come our way) that should be on your radar.
Now here’s a wild concept — what if you thought you were going to die tomorrow and that same thought became contagious to those around you? It would certainly make for an interesting night, that’s for sure. Written and directed by Amy Seimetz, She Dies Tomorrow looks like psychological horror at its best, playing with a fear we all have — dying — and twisting it into a slow-crawling descent into paranoia and madness. If that sounds like some cool shit to you, then you’ll be happy to learn that the trailer is every bit as batshit as its concept sounds.
After waking up convinced that she is going to die tomorrow, Amy’s carefully mended life begins to unravel. As her delusions of certain death become contagious to those around her, Amy and her friends’ lives spiral out of control in a tantalizing descent into madness.
She Dies Tomorrow is out on VOD this August 7th. So while you wait, feast on more Cheap Thrills here.
This sounds like an intriguing – and realistic – premise. There are a few last day on earth films that are either amusing(?) or wildly over the top. It’ll be interesting to see how this one is received.
