Kill for Me

Director: Michael Greenspan Writers: Christopher Dodd (screenplay), Michael Greenspan (screenplay) Stars: Leah Gibson, Torrance Coombs, Shannon Chan-Kent, Katie Cassidy, Tracy Spiridakos, Donal Logue I've been sitting on Kill for Me for some time and now that I've seen it, I can't believe I almost let this one slip past me. The story is very well written, building up a lot of tension and tying all aspects of the story together to one climatic ending. The pacing was sluggish at first, but after watching it a second time I could see how it works to establish the relationship between Hailey and Amanda. Just when you think you've got this film all figured out, it goes and flips the script on you with a neat little twist. It's not a W.T.F. moment, but it serves its purpose well. Finally the acting truly compliment the film, with everyone bringing their A game to the table. Tracy Spiridakos... I enjoyed your performance in "The Boy She Met Online", but I was completely blown away by your psycho/abused Hailey; she's calculating and unremorseful, yet affectionate and caring. Kudos also goes out to Donal Logue, who played one crafty S.O.B. whom I enjoyed every moment your character was on-screen . Props goes out to Katie Cassidy, who flat out takes the award after that scene where she has to seduce Garret. So damn gorgeous it hurts! In the end, Kill for Me while I was considering not watching you after the first 15 minutes, I'm really glad I stuck with it and I was rewarded with a thriller that's well written, well acted and full of suspense. 8/10

For a thriller then "Kill for Me" wasn't actually that bad. Sure, the storyline was a little bit too far fetched and too extreme, but entertainment-wise, then the movie was good. And most of what made the movie good was the solid acting performances put on by the cast members, because the storyline was not what kept the movie afloat.

The story in "Kill for Me" is about Amanda (played by Katie Cassidy) and Zoe (played by Shannon Chan-Kent) who live together as roommates, but their third roommate, Natalie (played by Leah Gibson), has gone missing. Struggling to make ends meet with rent, Amanda and Zoe get a new roommate, a girl named Hayley (played by Tracy Spiridakos). Amanda is having problems with an abusive ex-boyfriend and Hayley is having problem with an abusive father. Together, the two girls come to an agreement to help one another get rid of the abusing element, however, such an agreement comes with a price.

Yeah, the movie was entertaining enough, although it had a storyline that was just a bit too hard to fully buy into. And the ending, well without revealing anything, I will just say that it was so cliché and so out of nowhere trying to tie up loose ends.

"Kill for Me" is really well acted by all those involved, but especially Tracy Spiridakos put on a great performance in portraying Hayley.

The movie does progress at a nice and steady pace, which was just right, because there wasn't really a dull or boring moment throughout the course of the entire movie.

My 6 out of 10 rating is mostly given the acting performances put on in the movie. The movie doesn't really have enough contents to its storyline to be seen more than once.

Great acting and a series of convoluted of plot twists elevate this movie past the titillating and wishful Hollywood subtext of how "close" incredibly beautiful young women can get when they are in danger.

Watch it. You won't be disappointed.

Seems like most of these "reviews" are people reviewing the other reviews rather than the movie itself, so I'll take a minute to throw in my 2¢.

(vague spoilers, but nothing that isn't revealed in the trailer)

I definitely wouldn't say it's the most original plot out there and at a glance it comes off as sort of Strangers On A Train meets Wild Things with a sprinkle of Single White Female. That said, it's actually a solid thriller with a solid cast, and has enough twists to make it worthwhile and keep the audience guessing.

The only place I think the movie fails is rushing into the murder plot before really giving the relationship and bonding between Amanda and Hayley enough time to develop. And I don't necessarily mean more physical intimacy between the two, just more time spent getting to know each other and building trust in general to maybe help with why Amanda would go along with Hayley's initial plan rather than just calling the police. Or perhaps we needed a little more on the police ignoring Amanda previously and her reluctance to trust them. Either way, something was missing in the first act. Otherwise I thought the pacing was fine, the movie does a good job of building tension, and the leads did an excellent job making their character's emotional state (trauma, fear, distrust, etc) believable. Overall it was a good thriller and definitely worth a watch if you enjoy the genre.

This movie definitely isn't below a score of 5.I have watched a lot of movies, some with a score of nine and some with a score of 2. The movie runs together well, and its enough to keep me engaged. As far as its plot, there is suspense and there is twists, not greatly memorable, but this move doesn't deserve a 9 either.

I rated it between a 6 and a 7. Most 5's I find it hard to reach the end of.

Within the first 10 minutes, i realized it didn't have the hallmarks of a great movie(Usually with a score of 9). Which was strange as i saw a score of 9 online originally. After watching the movie and again checking online, I saw a score of 5.7. I noticed a lot of people gave it a 1/10. Its odd to see so many give it a 10 and so many give it a 1.(The 10's were probably from the crew involved in the movie upon its release and the 1's were probably an equal and opposite response by the public in defiance of its clearly exaggerated 10). The movie sits above the halfway of the two scores but not too high. I would recommend watching.
