I Know When You Die (Indonesian: Aku Tahu Kapan Kamu Mati) is a 2020 Indonesian horror film directed by Hadrah Daeng Ratu and produced by Unlimited Production and Maxima Pictures. The film is adapted from a popular Wattpad novel by Arumi E and stars Natasha Wilona as Siena, a high school student who, after a near-fatal accident, gains the supernatural ability to see a ghostly figure appear near anyone about to die. Ria Ricis and Al Ghazali appear in supporting roles. It was released in Indonesian cinemas on 5 March 2020 and grossed approximately Rp 21 billion.
Plot Siena, a high school student, gains the supernatural ability to see death omens—manifesting as ghostly figures—following a near-death experience. Her abilities are validated after she witnesses the deaths of a classmate and her neighbor. While her classmates Flo, Neni, and Vina are initially skeptical of her claims, they are convinced after witnessing the sudden death of another student, Brama, in a traffic accident. Soon after, Siena spots the ghost of Flo's deceased younger sister hovering near the group, signaling Flo's impending demise. In an attempt to alter her fate, the friends seek help from a local shaman, who provides them with protective consecrated water. However, an altercation with Brama’s vengeful ex-girlfriend, Denisa, results in the bottle being destroyed. During the scuffle, Flo falls down a flight of stairs and is hospitalized with critical injuries. Seeking a solution, Siena consults a blind woman who suffered from the same curse and warns her that death is an unavoidable destiny. Returning to the hospital, Siena finds that Flo has succumbed to her injuries, forcing her to accept the tragic reality of her visions.

Reception A mixed review by Marcus Goh, for Yahoo news, criticized the quality of the photography but praised some actors’ performances. A very negative review for the French website DarkSideReviews.com, however, found the overall production unserious, the story boring and the portrayal of lead and secondary roles execrable.
Sequel A sequel titled (English: I Know When You Dead: Suicide Village) was released in Indonesia on 14 September 2023. The film, again, stars Natasha Wilona as Siena, alongside Marsha Aruan, Giulio Parengkuan, Acha Septriasa, and Ratu Felisha. A review at Brilio.id found the sequel to be an improvement compared to the first part.
