Till Death actually came out back in July 2021. But it is more of a thriller than most of the October releases so we’re going to look at it anyway.

Emma (Megan Fox) is unhappily married to Mark (Eoin Macken). She’s been cheating on him with his employee, Tom (Ami Ameen). On their anniversary, Mark takes Emma to a secluded lake house. They have a fairly nice evening but when Emma wakes up the next morning, she finds herself handcuffed to Mark. Mark then shoots himself in the head, leaving Emma handcuffed to his corpse. Besides having to drag around her dead husband’s body, Emma also has to avoid being killed by the men Mark hired to murder her.

When I first heard about Till Death, I wrote it off as one of those terrible movies where the woman gets kidnapped and does stupid things to try to get out of the situation. (I’m looking at you, Secret Obsession.) Boy, was I wrong. Fox’s Emma is smart and powerful. She manages to drag Mark’s stupid body all over the place and, as any good true crime fan will tell you, corpses are heavy. At no point does she give in or just sit and wait for someone to save her. She is always looking for a way to fix her situation.

I honestly don’t want to talk too much about this movie. I really think that everyone should watch it. Especially women. Most of the time women are portrayed as victims or someone who needs to be saved. Emma proves that women are neither. Though maybe we should all learn how to pick a handcuff lock, just in case.
