Kill for Me

The college student Natalie Ross (Leah Gibson) goes missing and her friend and roommate Amanda Rowe (Katie Cassidy) accuses her ex-boyfriend Cameron McClure (Torrance Coombs) to the police. However nothing is proved against Cameron and Amanda's roommate Zoe (Shannon Chan-Kent) decides to rent Natalie's room to share the expenses of their house. They accept the student Hayley Jones (Tracy Spiridakos) and she gets close to Amanda. When the upset Cameron threatens Amanda, Hayley defends her and they have a close relationship. Soon Cameron breaks in their house and hits Amanda; however Hayley arrives at home and hits Cameron on the head with an axe. Hayley convinces Amanda to hide the corpse, burying in the farm of her abusive father Garret Jones (Donal Logue). Then she tries to convince Amanda to kill Garret, but Amanda refuses. Hayley kidnaps Amanda's friend Mark (Adam DiMarco) to force Amanda to kill her father. What will Amanda do?

"Kill for Me" is a predictable and shallow straight for video thriller. The characters are poorly developed and Cameron, for example, is murdered and forgotten by the plot. The bisexual Amanda is also a confused character and it is not clear why she had accused Cameron for the disappearance of Natalie. The conclusion is corny and is not clear why Garret has kept Natalie alive in the hole. As most of these average thrillers, the conclusion offers an easy moralist solution to all the problems, with the villains dead and the redemption of the lead character. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Sentença de Morte" ("Death Sentence")

Seems like most of these "reviews" are people reviewing the other reviews rather than the movie itself, so I'll take a minute to throw in my 2¢.

(vague spoilers, but nothing that isn't revealed in the trailer)

I definitely wouldn't say it's the most original plot out there and at a glance it comes off as sort of Strangers On A Train meets Wild Things with a sprinkle of Single White Female. That said, it's actually a solid thriller with a solid cast, and has enough twists to make it worthwhile and keep the audience guessing.

The only place I think the movie fails is rushing into the murder plot before really giving the relationship and bonding between Amanda and Hayley enough time to develop. And I don't necessarily mean more physical intimacy between the two, just more time spent getting to know each other and building trust in general to maybe help with why Amanda would go along with Hayley's initial plan rather than just calling the police. Or perhaps we needed a little more on the police ignoring Amanda previously and her reluctance to trust them. Either way, something was missing in the first act. Otherwise I thought the pacing was fine, the movie does a good job of building tension, and the leads did an excellent job making their character's emotional state (trauma, fear, distrust, etc) believable. Overall it was a good thriller and definitely worth a watch if you enjoy the genre.

Great acting and a series of convoluted of plot twists elevate this movie past the titillating and wishful Hollywood subtext of how "close" incredibly beautiful young women can get when they are in danger.

Watch it. You won't be disappointed.

IMDb only allows whole number ratings so I couldn't give this a 6.9. Kill for Me features a fairly simple plot (or so we were led to believe at first) which turns topsy-turvy before ending in a surprisingly well- done climax.

Some reviewers say the ladies entered into an agreement, inferring that everything was planned from shortly after they started rooming together and became lovers. That's a totally false presumption and I would assume that those reviewers didn't watch the movie and/or are just repeating reviews they have read.

The reviewer dalcanon41 from London said he only watched the first 10 minutes and then warned people to not waste their entire evening like he did watching this movie. Heh. I spent the entire 95 minutes watching it and had no problem staying focused and enjoying the roller coaster ride from beginning to end.

The two female leads (Katie Cassidy as Amanda and Tracy Spiridakos as Hayley) did an outstanding job of appearing sexy and vulnerable yet capable of taking care of themselves if necessary. The rest of the cast was good but the only other actor who was almost as good as the leads was Donal Logue as Hayley's enigmatic father.

If you enjoy thrillers and/or murder mysteries that keep your brain engaged from start to finish, beautiful women who can also act in the leads and a very competent director and supporting cast, I highly recommend watching Kill for Me.

This movie definitely isn't below a score of 5.I have watched a lot of movies, some with a score of nine and some with a score of 2. The movie runs together well, and its enough to keep me engaged. As far as its plot, there is suspense and there is twists, not greatly memorable, but this move doesn't deserve a 9 either.

I rated it between a 6 and a 7. Most 5's I find it hard to reach the end of.

Within the first 10 minutes, i realized it didn't have the hallmarks of a great movie(Usually with a score of 9). Which was strange as i saw a score of 9 online originally. After watching the movie and again checking online, I saw a score of 5.7. I noticed a lot of people gave it a 1/10. Its odd to see so many give it a 10 and so many give it a 1.(The 10's were probably from the crew involved in the movie upon its release and the 1's were probably an equal and opposite response by the public in defiance of its clearly exaggerated 10). The movie sits above the halfway of the two scores but not too high. I would recommend watching.
