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.
Sorry I forgot which timezone so I guess I watched slightly early.
Well, I wrote a review. I’d be curious to if you agree with it.

It is a very good writeup with which I totally disagree. I found it predicatble, uninteresting, and devoid of atmosphere.
Before watching this, I’d watched Central Station and needed to ruminate on that for a bit before watching anything else. The characters developed with the story. The sets were busy with life and activities, and the settings were anything but generic. In comparison, Time of Death was so enervating that I needed to take a nap after the effort to sit through it.
