“Tell Me How I Die” (**1/2 out of four) was an above-average Redbox melodrama about a group of college students who take part in a clinical drug trial under the supervision of a shady doctor (William Mapother). At first, everything seems great but it begins to have horrifying side effects in which they are able to see their own deaths and then they have to race against time to escape their fate. Chilling story is well-acted and well-directed by D.J. Viola but its impact is simmered by it’s overlength at nearly two hours. Owes an obvious debt to Stanley Kubrick and David Cronenberg stories of mind control but better than most direct-to-Redbox junk.
