Verdict on Die Before You Die

Die Before You Die is a horror thriller following an influencer who takes on a daring internet challenge. It involves him being buried alive for 3 days. However, the challenge takes a dramatic turn as he must deal with the isolation and reflection about his life.

This movie takes the buried alive concept and turns it into a daft internet challenge. It shows how desperate they are to find fame from daft stunts. This shows the human effect of getting caught up in social media stardom and what it takes out of people you love. It plays into the human effects while bringing a true human fear.
