Inspite of the negative reviews, inspite of the trailer not being enticing, i went ahead n saw this only cos of Darren Lynn Bousman. The movie is a terrible take on the Wicker Man movie. Tedious n repetitive scenes of running here n ther... Ther is nothing good here n inspite of the movie being shot on an island, the cinematography ain't that picturesque. In fact, Christopher Lee's Wicker Man got some lovely atmosphere. This movie is devoid of suspense n tension and gets very tedious at times. Ther is unnecessary two scenes of gory stuff. Someone rightly pointed out that Luke Hemsworth is looking like a fatter Matt Damon. Must be the water retention due to steroids.

Disappointed to see one of my fav director rip off Wicker Man n that too without adding any mystery, atmosphere or tension.
Had potential but turns into a mess pretty quickly
I'm a big fan of Darren Lynn Bousman. He directed the second, third and fourth instalments in the 'Saw' franchise and played a big role in making it what it was. He's also had some other gems along the way like 2010's 'Mother's Day'. Unfortunately 'Death of Me' is not his strongest work. In fact it's the weakest thing I've seen him put forward. The concept actually had potential which is the disappointing thing, but the way they went about structuring this movie was just horrific.
The movies opens with a very strange and intriguing scene. It left me excited for what the movie had to offer. Then as each revelation slowly came to light the movie became less and less interesting, until around the halfway point where it completely lost me. I tried to remain invested but it was just too hard. If it were not for Maggie Q's performance in the lead role, which she actually gave everything she had to, this movie would've gotten a lot lower rating than a 4/10 from me.
I sometimes see terrible movies that are set on tropical islands and wonder whether they get the stars they do to appear in the movie by the promise of working in paradise for a few months. It's the only way I can imagine them getting Q and Luke Hemsworth to sign on. This is not one I can recommend sadly.
Amateurish mess
Wow, what a mess...no mistery, no thrills, not one scary scene. Incoherent, rambling, unengaging film, with some ridiculous and laughable moments. Avoid!
