IMDb plot summary: A woman is left handcuffed to her dead husband as part of a sick revenge plot. Unable to unshackle, she has to survive as two killers arrive to finish her off.
Directed by S.K. Dale. Starring Megan Fox, Eoin Macken, and Callan Mulvey.
Till Death is a horror movie starring Megan Fox as a woman cheating on her husband of over a decade. When he finds out, he concocts an elaborate revenge plot that leaves her fighting for her life in a remote location where no one is coming to help her. When I say elaborate, I do mean *elaborate*. To the point that it doesn't really make any sense after the halfway point because all the extra traps he adds it to basically negate the earlier traps? Like, you're not going to worry about starving to death and ALSO being framed for the murder and ALSO being killed by outside forces, so why bother making ALL of them part of the story? It's a ridiculous scheme. What it does do though is definitely keep things moving, and if you can suspend your disbelief a bit, it's a pretty solid little thriller. Megan Fox's blank-faced chilliness translates here into seething rage and determination, and they keep her moderately intelligent and don't have her take silly risks until she really HAS to. Really all you need of a thrill is for it to keep you anxious for how the main character's going to do, and this hit that mark for me!
