Reviews:
“The film feels strikingly bland and non-memorable. There’s no distinct style or flair to Share or Die – it simply feels like one of those movies you made with your friends back in middle or high school for a film project that you had to present in front of your class. Plus the acting from pretty much everybody on board is incredibly weak too, sadly.” Caillou Petis Movie Reviews

MOVIES & MANIA comment and rating:
Beyond the already familiar plotline, even at just 76 minutes Share or Die is a tough watch simply because pretty much every character is extremely unlikeable if not downright annoying. Clearly, the viewer is meant to appreciate that some of the selfie-obsessed airheads on-screen deserve what fate is coming to them – and a couple of the deaths are agreeably gnarly – but that doesn’t make it any easier to watch so many repetitious close-up shots of phones being used for texting, liking and posting videos online. Those with no appreciation of urban music may also find the soundtrack grates.
