Love Kills

I was very pleasantly surprised with this film. I went to into it with fairly low expectations, as I knew nothing about it, and the reviews seemed a little bit of an insider job. Too many 10's!

I was quite shocked to look up the bio of the director and see that he's never done a feature film before, he seems to have a lot of experience with short films, and frankly I wish we had access to short films like that. I don't know where to view them, and I don't know where they are seen. It makes me wonder why he goes by only his first name, what's up with that? Is he trying to hide something, it is all very peculiar. He does seem to have talent.

The film was good, I liked the characters, I found them convincing, the performances were were good, the writing was good, I found it quite an entertaining film. And I am a tough critic, as there is a lot of junk out there these days that I'm not particularly fond of.

Honestly I didn't think it was going to be as good as it was going into it. I was just having it play in the background as I worked on abother project. But... I was drawn into it as the story.. The characters are very believable. The onscreen chemistry doesn't feel like it is being acted, these people like one another off screen too.

I give this a solid 8 out 10. A very well done independent lower budget film. Good acting, great story, casting, writing etc. A breath of fresh air compared to all the prequels, sequels, remakes and super hero dribble the film industry keeps pushing on viewers.

I hope to see these talented young people in further films.

I came across this randomly on Amazon through recommendations, so I decided to watch it after watching the trailer.

I am fairly picky but I do like to watch smaller indie films to get away from the glitz and glam in Hollywood, and I was surprised to find myself really engaged.

The story is fairly simple, a new girl moves into a couple's apartment and when the guy leaves for a while the girls ends up becoming friends and eventually lovers. I think what I liked the most was the natural approach, the dialogue felt real and flowed naturally and the relationship with the girls had a lot of cuteness to it. With most indie films they tend to write poor dialogue and the acting is rarely any good, but here both the writing and acting felt real. Like I could see myself knowing these people in real life.

It also had a few twists and turns I didn't expect which was nice. Over all, I found myself really enjoying it. I think others will too. Check it out.

Love Kills is an extraordinary film that beautifully intertwines romance and suspense in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. For an independent film, this movie is very well done and captivates you from the very first scene with its stunning cinematography and musical score that perfectly complements the intense emotions of the characters.

The storyline explores the complexities of love, betrayal, and redemption, delivering plot twists that are shocking and deeply satisfying. Lead actors Gia Brooks, Lucy Diamante, and Maximilian Seed deliver performances that are raw, powerful, and deeply moving. You can feel every ounce of passion, fear, joy, and determination in their portrayals, making their characters incredibly relatable and compelling.

The direction by Duke is superb. Each scene is well paced and crafted to build tension and emotion - and keep the audience guessing - making it impossible to look away. The visual style is unique and hauntingly beautiful, and adds an extra layer of depth to an already rich narrative.

This is a film that will leave you thinking long after the credits roll, and it's definitely one you'll want to watch again.

In conclusion, the blend of romance, suspense, and drama in just the right amounts makes Love Kills a powerful and unforgettable experience. It is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates films that challenge the mind and touch the heart.

It's rare to find small indie films to enjoy, but this was a very interesting little gem. The acting was great and the story kept me engaged throughout as it had constant changes that up the ante needed to keep me interested in finishing and I am glad I did because it was a fun ride filled with smiles, awes, and jaw-dropping moments.

The lead girls did a really good job, and so did the guy who played Lia's boyfriend. In fact, the whole cast did a really good job. There was just enough balance between them all to make me recommend this film.

The music was nicely blended and not overly done like so many other films.

It just felt really realistic and like something you would see in real life, which was nice for a change from the standard formula films that rarely ever feel real.

I say go and watch it where it's available. I saw it on Apple TV.
