10 Horror Movie Mysteries That Should NEVER Have Been Answered

2. Does She Die Though - She Dies Tomorrow (2020)

First things first, the protagonist -- the "she" -- of She Dies Tomorrow does not in fact die (tomorrow or any other time) and that is kind of a problem.

After moving into her new home, alcoholic Amy (Kate Lyn Sheil) is possessed by a strange and abiding feeling that she is going to die the next day. Despite having no sure reason, medical or otherwise, she manages to pass this strange melancholic certainty onto other people like a virus until it has created a general malaise right across town.

While not the best of films anyway (but nonetheless adored by a certain indie contingent), She Dies Tomorrow plummets to an unspectacular ending that really puts paid to the thematic and literal mystery the film has managed to build. Amy wakes up the next day, out in the wilderness on some rocks, bleary eyed and introspective but otherwise okay. Talk about an anti-climax.

One way to salvage the film would have been to end prior to the in-universe "tomorrow", before we know her fate and before deciding if this is some extended metaphor for alcoholism and depression, or whether there is something bigger and more sinister at play. Alas...
