All You Need Is Death

All You Need Is Death is a 2023 Irish horror film, written and directed by Paul Duane in his dramatic feature debut. It concerns a pair of ethnomusicologists who unethically record a recital of an ancient song, thereby inciting the negative attentions of supernatural forces. It was made on a shoestring budget initially entirely funded by the director, and featured largely unknown actors with the exceptions of Olwen Fouéré and Gary Whelan.

All You Need Is Death was released in a series of film festivals beginning in October 2023, and had its general release in the United States, Ireland and the United Kingdom the following April before being made available on streaming services Shudder and Prime Video. The soundtrack, composed by Ian Lynch of Irish doom folk rock act Lankum, was met with acclaim. The film was generally well-received, with critics praising its premise and opening act, as well as Fouéré's performance, although some found the film less coherent as it progressed.
