Movie Review: ‘Every Time I Die’

Review by Caitlin Zeigler

Sam (Drew Fonteiro) has been seeing Mia (Melissa Macedo) behind Tyler’s (Tyler Dash White) back. When Tyler comes back, everyone is hanging out together at a house in the woods including Sam’s friend Jay (Marc Menchaca) and Mia’s sister Poppy (Michelle Macedo). When Mia tells Sam that she can’t see him anymore, Tyler finds out. When Sam tries to leave, Tyler follows him and they get into a fight that kills Sam. Tyler returns to the house and says that the mark on his head is from falling while hiking. No one suspects that he killed Sam because Sam said he was leaving. What Tyler doesn’t know is that Sam’s consciousness is going to return in the bodies of his friends to try to save them from him.

It’s a decent film, but it’s also weird. You wonder how can Sam return and who is going to believe him. Another part of the movie is about Sam’s sister dying and it seems like the film is saying his sister is part of the reason Sam can do this. It’s good to watch, but not great at really explaining things. It will keep your attention. The plot is decent and the acting is good. I would say if you watch it, don’t think too much into why certain things are happening.
