As tormented as Amanda is by what they did, she is somewhat relieved to have her ex out of her life. She soon realizes that she is involved in something far worse than she ever could have imagined when Hailey insists that she now return the favor by offing her dad. When Hailey ups the ante by kidnapping a friend of Amanda’s as insurance that she commit the murderous act, Amanda feels like she has nowhere to turn. Before it all comes to an explosive end, Amanda won’t know who is the victim and who is the killer.
I’ll admit that about 10 minutes into the film, I had it all figured out, or at least I thought I did. It seemed pretty obvious to me what was going on and I felt like the sexual situations between Hailey and Amanda seemed forced, like they were thrown in there just to titillate the audience, especially because it seemed like things happened pretty quick since the girls only just met. As the movie went on, it seemed to follow down the path I assumed it would and was pretty standard stuff - not great and not bad. That being said, the last 15 minutes of the movie completely twisted things askew and brought about not only a really good and satisfying ending, but a completely unexpected one that I truly didn’t see coming. I’m a fan of psychological thrillers and Kill For Me didn’t disappoint. As far as special features go, there’s only a making-of featurette included; it’s interesting, but nothing groundbreaking. Kill For Me would make a good rental for a dark and rainy night. While it started off with the standard fare and seemed a bit cliché, I ended up enjoying it a good bit and it surprised me.
