Critics Consensus

Despite a handful of decent jolts and Maggie Q's committed performance, Death of Me's intriguing premise is undone by its listless and largely scare-free execution.

This was pretty good, I thought. I don't know why it's rated so poorly. I didn't like the ending, though.

Fairly decent horror mystery in a foreign land. Maintains the intrigue throughout by not including any unnecessary details.

1.5 stars is being polite. The acting is corny, the line delivery and timing makes the few good qualities of this movie bad and it desperately tries to be creepy for the sake of redeeming a garbage plot.

Was this a great movie? No. Was it a horrible movie? No. A fairly decent take on the Wicker Man with some interesting plot choices. Don't go out of your way to watch it. But if it's a rainy day and you are bored, check it out.

The movie was entertaining but nothing special or exciting or unique in terms of plot. Etc. The performances were good.

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

It starts out with a weird echo of the Hangover movies, then morphs into a variation on classic horrors such as The Wicker Man and even Rosemary's Baby - but with none of the dark impish wit that you'd hope for with borrowings like those.

Rated: 1/5

A movie that takes a fresh idea and decides that the best way to present it is through tropes and clichés from better films.

Rated: 1/4

Variety

Bousman's film pulls off some effectively nasty jolts and jabs: its feverish, whispery, eventually shrieking island-of-lost-souls claustrophobia may be rooted in cliché, but cliché takes root for a reason.

In Review Online

Death of Me is a mind-bogglingly tedious bit of vaguely racist horseshit that is devoid of chills, thrills, or even cheap gore.

Ready Steady Cut

Familiar faces find themselves stranded and confused in an unfamiliar land. A new film and new style from director Darren Lynn Bousman, which is effective but somewhat problematic.

Rated: 3/5

Takes an intriguing and slightly disturbing initial premise and then proceeds to do nothing of interest with it.
