I Don’t Like Thinking About Death

About This Movie

I Don’t Like Thinking About Death is an odd mix of comedy and horror that plays with the absurdity of modern dating. The pacing feels a bit uneven, especially in the first act where it builds this awkward tension. There’s a predatory dude, and the date spirals into something sinister, but it keeps a light tone that’s pretty intriguing. The practical effects are surprisingly well done, adding that tactile feeling that digital just can’t replicate. Performances feel genuine, especially from the lead, who balances charm and creepiness in a way that feels fresh. It’s unique in how it tackles themes of mortality and personal connection while still making you chuckle uncomfortably.
