You're Killing Me

Remember the Geico commercial where the teenagers are running from an ax murderer and they come across a running car and the one girls says ," why can't we just get in the running car". They of course decide not to get in the car and go hide right in front of the ax murderer. THAT'S THIS MOVIE!

The movie centers around a high school senior Eden Murphy who is trying to get into a prestigious college. But she needs a letter of recommendation from her classmate's father who is a man of influence. Her classmate doesn't really want to help her so she decides to attend a party at his house to try and get on his good side. This is where the "fun" starts.

This movie gives horror movies a bad name. It's just one implausible decision after another. But it goes beyond that. The story line is awful. I don't think I could s story this bad if I tried.

There's not one redeeming quality in this movie. Horrible script and laughable performances from the actors (but with a script is so bad I'm not sure the actors could do much).

Have you ever watched a movie and hoped all the characters would just die by time the movie ends - and in a hurry. That's THIS movie.

Save yourself the time and pick something else.

Have you ever watched a movie that was so bad that it made you physically angry? This is that movie. For some reason it was certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The numbers had to be manipulated. There is nothing good about this movie. I don't know how anyone involved with this travesty watched the finished product and declared "yep, it's ready". The plot is a re-tread of much better movies (young woman gets hunted by a group of killers) but with terrible dialogue and even worse acting. It's sad to see Anne Heche (R. I. P.) who is clearly not all there and the usually solid Dermot Mulrony ham it up, and at the same time, phone it in. This movie could have been wrapped up in about 45 minutes and it would have been better. Most of the scenes seem to be dragged out to fill time. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Overall quite great for a rather low budget film, and a decent thriller that shouldn't have a problem keeping viewers on the edge of their seat. The plot was far from perfect however, with a lot of moments I personally found hard to interpret, and a lot of filler as well. Color grading was also little poor, with the entire film being quite dark. Characters and acting were overall decent, though it would've been better if each character had more time at the beginning to establish themself. Casting seemed to be decent, though it would've been interesting to see what else could've been accomplished if this wasn't where the majority of the budget went.

Acting is ok. Cinematography is ok. Directing is meh. What is really bad is the writing. There so so many times where these people aren't doing anything that makes sense. The choices that are made are bad and illogical. It really is just super bad writing. The acting is ok though some performances were meh. Nothing ever felt scary. I am a HUGE horror movie fan and this was just horrible. It really felt like this was written by young people posing in horror. Do yourself a favor and skip this. It really is meh at best. Again, acting is ok. Cinematography is ok. Its the bad writing and maybe directing that makes this a hard pass.

There are bad movies because the plot is awful. Then there are movies where the plot is good but the acting is terrible. But then there are rare occasions when the acting is ok, the plot is ok, but the writing is so bad the movie feels like satyr the entire time. Everything that happens is either cliche or written by a 10yo. No wonder there is a writers strike, writing movies like this!l? I could do better and I can barely write my own name. If you want to see a bad B movie that makes you laugh because the characters do everything you wouldn't do? This is your movie. Full of cliches, the drunk girl, the weasel senators son, with the friend who is a constant F up, the hero girl who just wants to get into college and has to go to a party to get in????
