When a group of college students take part in a clinical drug trial, an unexpected side effect of the experimental medicine gives them terrifying visions of their own deaths...which begin to come true. As they scramble to escape their fate, they discover that the killer is among them and shares their ability to see the future - only he seems to be one step ahead of their efforts to survive.

Watch this movie if you ever had sexual feelings for Freddy from iCarly. Other than that, it was awful

Tell Me How I Die
This movie makes no fucking sense at all and doesn’t even really try to make sense. The motives of this killer are fucking stupid and only exist for the sake of having a killer, when you should have just ripped off Final Destination.

But what pissed me off more than anything was the snow. I don’t even know where to begin with the snow. Even if you have never seen snow in your life you should know that roughly 8 inches of snow would not break a jump from a 20 story fucking building. 

Nathan Kress I really hate to break it to you, sport. You’re always going to be Freddie and you are not intimidating at all. You are no more intimidating in this movie than you were as a Fencin’ Benson back in ‘08.

Why is Ryan Higa here? How did that happen?

Tell Me How I Die
Man, what a bad movie. Very few bright spots. I will start with the good. P.S. Minor spoilers ahead, but I don't think it is enough to warrent hiding the review

-Interesting concept
-Ryan Higa

That's about it. Now for the bad

-Bad execution of concept
-Inconsistent rules/ poor logic for rules
How are you going to tell me that someone not being told their future will actually make it so the future sight is wrong. I can get behind the idea that they aren't seeing the future, but rather creating a self-fullfilling prophecy, but that doesn't explain why she gets visions that become wrong because she never shares them with the person it affects.
-Killer teleports? This might be a detail I missed so it seemed like the killer teleported, but based on the quality of the plot, I am going to guess I didn't miss anything
-Dumbass characters
What logic goes into thinking that killing the person with visions will make those visions seize to occur. She isn't creating the future, just seeing it. The future will still happen even if she's dead
-The acting was just not good, but I still love you Ryan Higa
-Who tf names their kid Den?
-Opposite of Chekhov's gun?
I actually learned something from this movie. A MacGuffin is the opposite of Chekhov's gun. It's an object, event, or character that serves to set and keep the plot in motion but actually lacks significance to the outcome. Why do we learn that Ryan Higa's character is color blind and then never revisit it. I was waiting the entire movie for that to be some sort of hinderance to him,but it just never comes up again. And they really set it up as if it would be an important detail to remember.
-Killer's motive is straight up not good. Essentially killing innocent people for the hell of it

There is probably a lot more negatives I could come up with if I sat and thought about this longer, but I really don't want to do that. I only watched this movie because it had Ryan Higa in it and I actually really enjoyed that. Despite his subpar acting (it wasn't too terrible), every scene that he was in I was thoroughly entertained and wished he was in it more. Was definitely hit with a huge wave of nostalgia which manifested more in sadness than happiness and will result in me binging the entiriety of the Parkcourse series.
