Death of Me

2020 ·1h 35m · ★ 5.0 (268)

A couple on holiday on a remote South Pacific island awaken one morning with a hang over and no recollection of what transpired. When playing back a video of the previous night, they see they participated in a local ritual that somehow ends with him murdering her.

Why it matters

A tense psychological horror that fuses island mysticism with amnesia-fueled dread, Death of Me explores how memory and identity can unravel in isolation.

  • Anchored by a moody South Pacific setting that evokes folk horror’s remote dread without the usual European trappings.
  • Practical and digital effects blend to unsettling effect in the ritual sequences, evoking early 2000s supernatural thrillers.
  • For fans of memory-loss mysteries like Memento crossed with atmospheric slow-burns (think The Wailing).
  • Not flawless—some narrative twists strain credulity—but its unsettling mood and eerie local mythology make it worth a look for those craving island-set supernatural chills.
