‘Death of Me’: Meet Luke Hemsworth, Maggie Q and rest of the cast of this intriguing psychological horror film
A new psychological horror film is coming your way to spook you. ‘Death Of Me’, directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (best known for his work on the ‘Saw’ franchise), based on a screenplay written by Arli Margolis, James Morley III and David Tish, looks very intriguing in its premise.
The film follows a couple, vacationing on an island off the coast of Thailand. One day, Neil and Christine wake up hungover and with no memory of the previous night. They find footage on Neil's camera, and watch, horrified, as Neil appears to murder Christine. But Christine is alive, which makes their confusion all the more potent. With twenty-four hours until the next ferry and a typhoon threatening the island, Christine and Neil attempt to reconstruct the night's events — and are caught in a web of mystery, black magic, and murder.
It is difficult to tell from the trailer if the supposed supernatural elements in the film are real or just a kind of hallucination; which is why it promises to be a good psychological horror film that will surely have people on the edge of their seats. The film boasts not only a promising story but also a great cast. Let’s take a look at who the members are:
