A bizarre and grotesque wonder. I understand everyone who is tempted to rate She Kills a 1 but I also get if some may be tried to rate a straight 10. Well, I got well entertained by some gory and very funny and very absurd moments - so a rate of 7 it is from my side.
Worth a try if you are able to enjoy very absurd, grotesque movies with a high trash and low budget factor (production and storywise) + overacting in a style that it is somehow reborn almost superb again.
So I did watch this first - and then the movie this is supposed to be a sequel of. I don't think you have to watch the other movie before this. Or at all - but if you really dig this, you should watch the other one too. If possible in the right order. Not because of any story developments (I know good one, right?), but because this is better than the other one. I am standing up for that (no pun intended).
But yes there is innuendo to say the least - and there is the notion of trying to make even the most horrible situation funny. I am not sure if you can see the humor in the "Benny Hill" style ... sexual abuse of someone. If you remind yourself that it's just a movie, you may be able to let things go. I am just warning you and telling you what to expect. What you make of it ... that's up to you.
That said, a lot of nudity, a lot of blood effects and a lot of really insane "otherworldy" situations ... and humor! Above all it is the humor that will make or break this for you. And how "sensible/sensitive" you are ... because this literally takes not prisoners ... and when I say this, you could put that in the pun column too ... you've been warned ... or encouraged, not sure to be honest.

This parody to 70's Grindhouse movies is good. Yes. There are scenes that made a lot of reviewers very uncomfortable, that they were unable to watch the entire film. Those scenes of sexual assault in She Kills, were made with a comedy element. Not like the scenes with the movies "Thriller :A Cruel Picture, AKA They Call Her One Eye, I Spit On Your Grave, Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom and other sexploitation movies that didn't tone down the sexual assaults. Those two movies that I mentioned, those sexual assault scenes were brutal. Here in She Kills, they took a lighter touch and even paid homage to Thriller with the eye patch as well as other exploitation and mainstream movies. The sexual in nature scenes were more of a comedy gross factor, than making the viewers think that this could be an actual assault taking place on film. The filmmakers and the actors are all in on the joke. They know it's a bad movie and they put their all of the worst into it. With double stand-ins, burned film, the dialogs doesn't switch up with the actor's mouths, the use of a dog and a cat being used as weapons for a fight, the use of not to scale models of buildings, roads and cars. There are even scenes with the crew in the shot.
It's a funny film. You have to stay with it. It doesn't go down easy, but you will laugh and groan at the same time.

I sat down to watch the 2016 movie "She Kills" with the expectation of it being an homage to the Grindhouse movies, and even IMDb have the movie listed as an Action/Horror movie. Well, it should be labelled as a spoof actually.
I managed to endure about 30 minutes of pure torment that is known as "She Kills", then I was ready to claw my eyes out. Not only was the movie having an amazingly boring storyline, but it was also brandishing amateurish acting that was dubious at best.
Sure, I get that the movie was intended to be this way, with questionable acting and having a dubious storyline, as a part of it being a tribute to the old exploitation and Grindhouse movies. But "She Kills" just failed to pull off the spoof in an enjoyable manner. And for me, it ended up being a catastrophic eyesore of a movie.
The dialogue was as heinous and cringeworthy as the acting was. And the things that took place on the screen was just uncomfortable to witness.
I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "She Kills"; I just wasn't part of that audience.
This is without a doubt one of the worst ranking movies I have ever stumbled upon. I was not entertained the least from what I suffered through those 30 minutes, give or take, nor were I enjoying anything that transpired on the screen.
My rating of "She Kills" is a generous one out of ten stars, simply because I cannot give it any lower rating than that. This was a total swing and a miss from writer and director Ron Bonk. And I can in all honesty say that I am not ever going to return to watch the rest of this movie.
