Nick O Zombie Hawn vs. Zombie Streep in this ultra-camp horror comedy about the frustrations of getting old and still wanting to look your best! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review SkyRo P The 1992 movie "Death Becomes Her," starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis, was released during the time when I was a child, so I never really saw this movie. However, I have seen the iconic poster my entire life, and for some reason, I never actually stepped into the realm of watching this film until now. I think that for today’s audience, this movie is a little aggressive towards female vanity, which is sad because it actually could have done a lot better in today’s context if our society weren’t so sensitive. That being said, for what the movie did and what it brought to the cinematic screen during that time, the CGI was bad, but for that era and what we had to work with back then, they did a decent job. Now, yes, the movie is about a woman who wants to stay young forever, and another woman doing the same, with both of them chasing after a man who’s not even worth pursuing. They made Bruce Willis look very unattractive and unappealing to the general audience, yet these two beautiful women—one of them a mega movie star—are all chasing after him, wanting to stay young forever, to the point of death, while still pursuing this man. Now, it’s very corny and very cheesy. It’s not anything that you’re going to jump up and down for, or even remotely say to yourself, "Let me revisit this often," because I don’t think it has aged well in today’s society. It is a classic and is often bragged about, but I think that ultimately, as I stated earlier, our world has become too sensitive on so many topics that certain movies just take a backseat and are not revisited. Now, I didn’t hate the movie; I thought it was actually enjoyable enough to watch and creative for its timeframe. Would I revisit it? Probably not. If I did revisit it, it would be several years from now; it’s not going to be something that I just jump up and go try to watch again.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Cleve H This is my absolute all-time favorite movie. The special effects are fantastic for a film of its era, not to mention great acting across the board. Meryl Streep is fantastic as the aging actress grasping at youth, and Goldie Hawn does not disappoint as the bitter, revenge-stricken friend. Bruce Willis gives what I consider an Oscar-nominating performance as the bumbling Ernest. His ability to transform himself from a built action star to this character shows he has some serious chops. Isabella Rossellini oozes sexiness and the movie always leaves me wanting to seek out and take the potion myself. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Audience Member Such a fun movie! It’s campy. Loved the story and the acting, and the outfits were 10/10 👏🏼 I especially loved the potion scenes, and the very comedic (de)evolution of Meryl Streep’s character. Goldie Hawn had some pretty brilliant campy moments too. Would recommend ⭐️ Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review AL m Very comical i love it!
