When Fiction Kills: I Know Exactly How You Die Hits Digital April 7th

PX is set to unleash the official US digital release of Rusabh Patel’s indie horror, I Know Exactly How You Die, a sharp, dread-soaked thriller that turns the pressure of a deadline into something far more sinister. From April 7, audiences across the US can rent or own the film in Digital HD on major platforms, including Prime Video and Fandango at Home, with a DVD release also landing for collectors who still like their fear tangible.

At the centre of Patel’s story is Rian Burman, a struggling horror novelist who checks into a remote motel with one mission: finish the book that’s been choking him from the inside out. He’s running on fumes—haunted by heartbreak, stalled by creative paralysis—and the kind of silence that doesn’t soothe, only amplifies what you’ve been trying not to hear. Desperate for a breakthrough, Rian begins writing about a woman named Katie, a drug counsellor on the run from a violent stalker. It’s the sort of premise that should stay safely trapped on the page. But this motel isn’t a sanctuary, and Rian’s imagination isn’t content to remain fiction.

As his manuscript takes shape, the boundary between what’s written and what’s real begins to fracture. Scenes he types start to happen. Details he invents echo back at him in the real world. And then, in the same motel where Rian is trying to wrestle a story into existence, the real Katie is hiding—terrified, cornered, and being hunted by a deranged ex-mailman turned serial killer. When Rian and Katie finally cross paths, their shared reality confirms the impossible: his words aren’t just describing horror, they’re summoning it.

With each escalating death, I Know Exactly How You Die tightens its grip, forcing Rian to confront a terrifying question—if he’s writing the nightmare, does that make him the only one who can stop it… or the reason it exists at all?
