This movie has its moments for a indi film, but that alone doesn't mean it gets more praise then its worth.
The actors do pretty well and the flick is shot pretty decent for its budget, its definitely the writing were I have some problems.
Lia and Brianna's so called "interment romantic love" was legitimately no better than a week long fling that two people in highschool would have when one or anothers other half wasn't looking.
Both characters were written like highschoolers in a adult world which is pretty unbelievable.
Milo's character was obvious, while he goes to some pretty big extremes the outcome of the whole situation was predictable.
The demographic for this movie would definitely have to be mid to late teens as the title for this review pretty much somes it up.

Unfortunately, the film is written really bad seems written by a screenwriter to his first script and it is certainly not an excuse despite everything the actresses do a good job the two protagonists but only the two of them while all the other characters are without voting acting not received , the first part of the film despite the little money available and the bad writing is very good and entertains enough the problem arrives in the second part of the fil because it is there that the screenplay sink into the most total disaster, she who returns with her boyfriend It makes no sense, the police, the final twists, could be truly an excellent film thanks to the acting of the two protagonists but should have chosen a different ending any simpler but simpler finish, and they should have revisited the screenplay more and more times before I start shooting maybe someone with a little more experience !!

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.

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.

This film was nothing but a cinematic masterpiece! Starting with the exceptional performances, the lead actresses who played Lia and Brianna showed strong vulnerability with their feelings and past traumas. Can't forget about their electrifying chemistry that defined the whole film beautifully. The supporting cast was equally amazing as they were well developed and an integral part to the story. The pacing was perfect on keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat along with the story being very easy to follow. This film pushed the boundaries of storytelling with its bold and ambitious elements.

While "Love Kills" is undeniably a love story, it also serves as a meditation on the concept of losing oneself in the moment. The film encourages viewers to embrace the uncertainty of love, reminding us that while it can be exhilarating, it can also lead to profound pain. Though the film has its share of clichés, it manages to rise above them through its authentic portrayal of love's complexities. The director did a phenomenal job creating and capturing crucial moments stepping the viewer into the lives of Gaia and Lucy's characters being both relatable and compelling causing you to become lost with them through their imprudent decisions.

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.

Love the casting, love the drama. They killed it with the storyline; it's refreshing to see something different.
The characters were well developed, and the character progressions were interesting to see, especially with our main protagonist. Lots of twists and turns throughout to keep viewers' attention. Kinda makes you want to rewatch it to see what you missed the first time.
I was very much reminded of the show Euphoria; they have similar vibes. So not the kinda movie I'd wanna watch with my parents, but perfect for a girls' night.
Looking forward to seeing what this talented crew does next!

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.

I caught this on Tubi last night through a recommendation, I kinda was expecting the usual indie low budget film but to my surprise it was actually good. At first I thought it would be kind alike a soft core from the poster but this was much more than that. It was actually cool to see the relationship between them girls and the acting was first class.
My boyfriend liked it to and he generally dont like this type of movie stuff, and it got better and I never expected all that to happen in the end.
There wasn't too much graphic stuff, a few scenes here and there, but nothing too bad. If you have time I would check it out and it was free on tubi to make it better haha.
