Jerod S @jeroduptown 07/09/2022 Ian's got this groundhog's day death thing going on and people in matrix-like suits that are after him and his girl. After a cyclical wake up, run, die thing - he finally finds a solution to break the pattern of the demons from the other world. See more 06/04/2021 Starting with the premise as something was haunting Ian and killing him over and over again, and he wakes up every time in a different lifestyle, but he was unclear why was this happening. The movie utilized an intriguing idea which lingers why I was glued to the end. However, in the last 20 minutes they somehow completed it with cheesy fight scenes as they lost out of ideas maybe nevertheless, this movie had tons of fun and weird moments which I genuinely enjoyed. The acting was well-done, I wasn't familiar with the casts, but they perform it their all especially Mike Vogel who was amazing throughout the movie. The cinematography was really intriguing as the look and the feel of this film was very dark, cold and grimy. The unsaturated color toning was naturally evoking the suspense and intended mood which was gripping for a B-movie. The dialogues are up to scratch nor much endorsement or memorable. However, director Daria Piana carries out an excellent job alongside Brendan Hood (formerly known for writing They 2002) , for a British Sci-fi Horror this movie was very compelling. Despite the flaws, I enjoyed this movie. It didn't have jump scares or a lot of gore moments but it hooked me up till the end in some way or other shifting its gears from a thriller to Sci-fi to Monster to Drama. If you like to see the loop kind of horror, this one is for you. See more 04/15/2015 Could be worst but has a good moments. See more 03/10/2015 So I re-watched it a while ago and I was really happy when I've found this movie again on my stock of dvds. I remember liking this movie SO MUCH 6 years ago(2009), the first time I watched this. However, seeing this movie again, I don't know if because its just that I compare it with the new trends of movie today, but somehow I've noticed that the editing is not really polished and the story has many plot holes or shall I say, there's too much questions left behind. I can't see the world building on the movie. It's a nice concept and story, definitely. However, the story can be even more push to its limits - there's so much things that can happen which I can say the writer/director didn't take a chance on exploring. I am just disappointed a little when I re-watched it again. I really expect it to be really really good on what I've remembered 6 years ago. But still, in the end of the day, I can't help but to admire this movie. The concept is very extraordinary. I would really appreciate if this can be REMAKE again and put more attention on its CHARACTER BUILDING AND WORLD BUILDING. (I hope the director and writer can see this.) See more 02/24/2015 Tons of fun and weird. This sometimes thriller, occasionally monster sci fi superhero movie has a lot to offer. While it goes in unexpected or less explained directions at times, the ride from start to finish is definitely its own. Like many great b-movie it struggles to find its voice and get down all the beats for its story, but the heart of it is original and fun. See more 02/15/2015 The Death Of Ian Stone is Dario Piana's first movie (his other being Lost Boys 3) this is a really underrated movie, with a mixture of drama, romance, sci-fi, and horror. The movie is confusing and you can't really explain it, all you need to know is that something is hunting Ian and killing him over and over again and he wakes up in a different lifestyle. The acting is really good I've never seen the main actor before but one of the girls is from Dexter and she's really good. The special affects are also really good for being a low-budget film. This is a hidden gem I found on Netflix if you like suspense original horror you'll really like this movie. See more Read all reviews
