Arthouse psychological horror She Dies Tomorrow made a few waves in the movie world when it arrived during the pandemic in 2020, and a few more when it hit Netflix last year. But, overall, the picture suffered from poor exposure, and a massive delay between being made and actually finding a proper audience.

The film is very much the story of Amy (Kate Lyn Shell), a recovering alcoholic moving into her new home, who is overcome by a feeling that she is going to die the next day. Figuring she has nothing to lose, she relapses. However, far from an existential look at depression and alcoholism, the film offers up this sense of death in a much more tangible fashion, as it spreads from her to her friends and family, all of whom are overcome by ennui and the sense of an impending ending.

But was the movie worth the wait? Probably not. And one of its major shortcomings resides in the lie that's used to sell it: she definitely does not die tomorrow. Instead, Amy drags herself (and us) towards the picture's underwhelming end intact, seeing in the dawn of that very "tomorrow" on some rocky hills, crying, whispering to herself that "it's okay". Well it's not. It's really not.
