4/10
It has aged slightly better than its protagonists, but it's still just as hollow.

'Death Becomes Her (1992)' is unfocused and messy, unsure what it wants to be at every step of the way. This means that there's essentially nothing to grab on to, least of all the incredibly unlikable characters. The movie can never quite decide who it wants to follow, and, thus, we have don't have anything to care about, not even all the special effects spectacle - which actually just erupts from essentially nowhere in the flick's latter half. The effects are fairly impressive if you consider the time of release, but they're made such a big deal of, and are honestly such an important pillar of any potential enjoyment, that their inevitable ageing is all the more evident and detrimental - which is actually quite ironic, though possibly beneficial, given the piece's themes. 4/10
