Review of DieRy

DieRy (2020)
7/10
A Fun Millenial Horror Thriller
30 August 2020
"DieRy" is light horror mystery done with style. It's mysterious because of its ingeniously set and resolved puzzles. It's horrific because grisly deaths accumulate. It's light because it has some of the breeziness of 1990's teen scarefests like" I Know What You Did Last Summer." (No, it's not quite a Hitchcock-lite classic like "Charade.") The performances are excellent, most especially lead Claudia Maree Mailer's turn both as a vivid millennial beauty plagued by childhood trauma and more recent stalking, Ciaran Byrne as a dynamic PI and screen writer John B. Mailers brief turn channeling father Norman Mailer channeling a redneck. The evocation of Generation X and Y culture with a strong social media dimension will be a kind of comfort food for some viewers and a source of amusing anthropological color for others
