4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Slasher with more Water than Blood Aug 24 2009
By Captain Insanity - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Probably the most solid slasher flick I've seen in awhile.
(especially considering the lack of slashing)
It's an Autrian slasher flick, (so it's in german, if you speak german)
though surprisingly every song on the soundtrack appears to be in English.
If you don't like subtitles, that's alright, 'cause it comes dubbed,
and can I just say.. I don't remember ever hearing a better dubbing job.

For those who know slashers:
It's acts like a 90's slasher (Scream, I Know What You Did, Urban Legend, etc.)
without any of the humor.
Picture those movies if their puppy just got hit by a missile.
It's not funny like "Hatchet", it's a lot more serious.
It's not overly gory like "Laid to Rest", (it does have it's moment though)
It's slower and more involving than both.
And it's probably 14 thousand times more engaging than "Cold Prey" could ever hope to be.
But it's not getting nearly as much love as any of the aforementioned.
The only issue I can see some people having with this flick, is that it drags it's feet at some points.
All in all I'd say this slasher "should" be the epitome of the term "sleeper"

It's about a group of friends who all receive a message on their phone
saying that each will be dead in 3 days.
... they pay no mind to it... 'til one of them disappears.
Yes it's a vengeance plot we've seen before, but this time around it has;
actual characters, with real character development,
played by actors & actresses who can actually act,
some gore (1 scene in particular is brutal),
believable dialogue, excellent cinematography,
and for whatever reason the director seems either,
obsessed with water,
or is bashing you over the head with foreshadowing.
Every other scene is of water, and practically every death involves it.
But there is method to this madness.
There is method.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Keep your friends close.. really close.. or they might disappear.

ALSO RECOMMENDED:
Cold Prey, Laid to Rest, Hatchet, Steel Trap, I know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legend, Black Christmas, Halloween, Identity, Just Before Dawn, Sleepaway Camp

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing special, but still better than most mainstream horror flicks May 28 2009
By N. Durham - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Calling Dead in 3 Days a German take on I Know What You Did Last Summer would pretty much sum up all there is to know about this film, with the only exception being that Dead in 3 Days is far superior, and in reality despite the many horror/slasher conventions it follows, is better than a majority of mainstream American horror flicks. The film follows around a group of attractive grads who all receive a text message telling them, you guessed it, they'll be dead in 3 days. Before you know it, they're being picked off one by one by a hooded killer. There's some decent gore, and even some decent scares to be found in Dead in 3 Days, as well as some gorgeous cinematography as well. Other than that, Dead in 3 Days doesn't offer anything that you haven't seen countless times before, but the film is still worth a look at the very least for die hard slasher fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great small Austrian movie Dec 28 2008
By Wolfgang Muellner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This movie ran in Austrian cinemas some years ago and it`s really a well made slasher film, done on a shoestring budget with good non professional actors. Some setpieces remind us of the glory days of Argento and other great directors. Saw today Part 2, which is even better and a lot more gruesome than the first one. An absolute must have for any slasher aficionado who likes his kills with some depth to story and characters.
