You're Killing Me

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.

This movie is so DUMB! The writing is so STUPID. Every plot point is CRAZY. Every character choice is so ridiculous and makes no sense.

Just when you think the acting could not be more over the top, or the writing could not get more idiotic...it does.

It is supposed to be about the power dynamics between the rich and the poor, but it is a joke. Everyone but the lead are horrible people.

I did not find the plot twists were not shocking, suspenseful ,or entertaining...it just annoyed me that people were so dumb, and made me mad the movie was still going.

Sitting through this movie was KILLING ME!

This film does little to develop any of the characters, and the plot is basic rich/poor at a fancy school. Except the target is entry to an Ivy league school rather than to stop bullying.

So stock rich kids & poor kids engage so the poor one can finagle into a school that her poor friend has a full ride. Rich kids are standard rich kids with all the excess that comes with it.

Oh wait, the film starts wurh a missing girl!

What starts as a standard party to get ahead turns into a heist and hostage situation. All the wrong choices are made, all the obvious signs are ignored, and the revenge is served stupidly.

Oh well. Anne Heche filmed her part soon before she died. She looked as if she was ready to fall over intoxicated. Or she was reeling from chemo.

Tense only due to the stupidity if the characters.

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.

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????
