Kill for Me Audience Reviews

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
bowmanblue In 'Kill For Me' there isn't anything too new, that hasn't been seen before. Yet, it's presented well enough and done just right for that not to matter.Talking about the film would be giving too much away about the plot. It basically revolves around two women with - very - troubling men in their lives. Take a guess as to how they decide to deal with them? One of the film's strengths is its length - it's quite short. That isn't a negative, it actually helps - everything is neatly tied up leaving no loose ends within the film and therefore hopefully not letting the audience feel cheated. All the characters are believable and acted well in their respective roles - the men are suitably horrible and the women... well, you'll just have to see what they're like! If you like a good murder story with plenty of fiendish plotting, give this one a go - it probably won't be remembered as a classic in twenty years time, but fans of the genre should enjoy it anyway.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
jyekam Honest review.A lot of these recent reviews are 1 star, however this movie is DEFIANTLY worth more than that. all the 1 star reviews are probably due to retaliation to the 10 star ratings.Simply put: the movie is a good thriller and definitely worth watching. It's got a smart plot and i really like the two main actresses. (katie cassidy and tracy spiridakos)bottom line, if you're thinking about watching this movie, do it, i enjoyed it.also, i would recommend not reading to many reviews because they could have spoilers in them.
TdSmth5 A girl goes missing. Her roommates seek someone else to use her room. Country girl Hayley arrives to rent the room. Amanda who works with a famous attorney, notices that Hayley's back is bruised and covered in scars. Amanda has a nice guy friend and some creepy ex who won't leave her alone, but Hayley steps in to protect her from him and also starts making out with Amanda.One day the ex catches Amanda alone in the house, he has a gun and becomes pushy. Hayley arrives and gets tossed around a bit. When the guy decides to leave, she buries an ax in his skull. Hayley suggests they bury the body, since Amanda's prints are also on the ax. They go ahead and bury the body on Hayley's dad's ranch.Now that Hayley has killed for Amanda, she suggests Amanda return the favor. She wants to get rid of her dad, who according to her, killed her mom and abused her- hence the scars. It's a convoluted plan that involves Amanda seducing him, replacing his drink with antifreeze, and printing a suicide note. At first reluctant she agrees, until he tells her a very different story. But there is another twist.Kill for Me is yet another entry in the popular 'evil men- poor victim women who then take revenge' genre, written by...men. It's a well done movie, it's interesting, a tad too slow at times. It lacks a sense of dread, tension. The relationship between the two is interesting as long as there's some sexual tension. But as usual the movie relies on characters being dumb. Amanda consults with the lawyer but never tells her exactly what is going on. Hayley's dad is perhaps the most interesting character- a mellow and likable guy overall. The movie succeeds at leading the viewer around the nose for a while and you think that this is one of those movies with a villain in god mode who has everything planned ahead. Overall the story is good although it is not entirely clear that it works, if you actually think about all the details, and the movie could have used more excitement.
Mr_PCM Kill for Me seems such a by-the-numbers standard 'thriller' that there is almost no need to watch the film at all. Nothing about the film is particularly bad, but then there is nothing about it that is particularly good or original either. As a throwaway 90 minutes of diversion, Kill for Me is adequate, mildly interesting but almost instantly forgettable, given that it is almost entirely derivative of other, superior films - Single White Female and Horrible Bosses being just two that come immediately to mind. The very definition of a straight-to-DVD movie.The plot is obvious enough for even Ray Charles to see coming - university law student Amanda (Green Arrow's Katie Cassidy) takes in a new roommate, vet student Hayley (Tracy Spiridakos) when her former roommate goes missing. Meanwhile her ex-boyfriend has taken on creepy stalker-ish tendencies, while Hayley's dad is apparently quite free and happy with his fists. Amanda bonds with Hayley over their shared pain. Can you tell where it's going yet? Hayley of course seems fairly normal to begin with, and Amanda sees in her a kindred spirit. When thoughts inevitably turn to murder to solve each other's problems, things take a turn for the even more predictable and cliché, with one or two 'twists' that might as well have signposts signalling their imminent arrival.Yet there is a reason that this kind of story has been done before; it generally works quite well, and, for all its predictability, Kill For Me is relatively enjoyable. Admittedly it will never be in the running for an award for best original screenplay, but the performances of the leads do enough to gain the audience's investment in their fates, and are easy enough on the eye to measure up to other sorority house-style killer thrillers. There's even the inevitable Sapphic turn of events, which again regularly seems to appear in films featuring sorority age university girls. But the film is not sexy enough to be a true sorority flick, not bloody enough to be a real slasher, and not tense or unpredictable enough to be a genuine thriller - an isolated farmhouse, a mysterious disappearance and a few taut violin strings are not enough to automatically ratchet up the suspense.Overall, an average, adequate, run-of-the-mill (or any other synonym of merely satisfactory) thriller, that will provide 90 minutes diversion without the audience clamouring for a refund, but without much applause either.Meh.
