She Dies Tomorrow (2020)

When Amy is suddenly stricken by the random idea she will die tomorrow, a bizarre phenomenon starts passing through her social circle, where each and every person is eventually hit by the same realisation they will not last until the next sunrise, despite there being no obvious reason to believe this. Rather than riffing on the notion of contagion as conventional plague, Amy Seimetz’s She Dies Tomorrow takes an abstract route into the subject, one which recalls films such as Pulse, where contagion features a strong existential element, in its sometimes absurdly comic, yet deeply unsettling, exploration of a group of people facing imminent unexplained death. As such, the film fits neatly into the stable of Lynchian horror, which seeks to explore genre by breaking down boundaries and enhancing sensory elements such as the use of hallucinatory colour and dreamlike sequences.SPECIAL FEATURES:High-Definition digital transfer approved by writer-director Amy SeimetzOriginal 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio surround soundA ‘Making of’ featurette with Seimtez and cinematographer Jay KeitelNewly filmed interviews with stars Kate Lynn Sheil and Jane AdamsShe Dies Tomorrow and The Viral Apocalypses of the Future: A visual essay on contagion in modern horror by Anton BitelAudio commentary by critic and programmer Anna BogutskayaOriginal trailer
