This Friday at 9PM PST / 4AM GMT we’re diving into Time of Death (2013).

Announcing early so you can stock up on popcorn and bad beer.

Here’s the pitch: every murder happens at the exact same time—10:44PM. Sounds cool, right? Well… that’s where it gets dicey. This was made by a tiny Canadian studio on a shoestring budget, and opinions are all over the map. Some people swear it’s a hidden gem. Others say it’s one of the most boring “thrillers” ever broadcast on TV.

But that’s exactly why it’s perfect for LIVE MOVIE FRIDAYS. Odds are you’ve never seen it. Odds are it’ll be clunky. Odds are we’ll be yelling “what the hell was that?” at the screen at least once.

Oh, and yes—that’s Kathleen Robertson from Beverly Hills 90210 starring in a bargain-bin crime flick about synchronized murders.

Where to watch:

So—good, bad, or so bad it’s good—we’re doing this live.

See you Friday night.

Well, you’re in luck—I do reviews.

In fact, I’ll be talking about this one live as we watch it. So if you don’t feel like rolling the dice, you can just scroll the thread later and decide if it’s worth your time.

Everybody wins. The adventurous get the thrill of watching an obscure movie unfold in real time. The cautious get the crib notes afterward.

I know! And you are good at it! I really liked your write up for Curse of the Cat People and meant to comment, but life took over and then later it felt too late.
