KillHer

KillHer is a fun film. With twists and turns throughout its always engaging. It's well cast and the lead M. C. Huff is fantastic. The script by Tom Kiesche (who also has a pivotal role) is well paced and has intriguing character development. The twists and turns are unexpected and fresh. The film looks very polished and well done especially for the budget. There's plenty of blood spilled and there are truly laugh out loud moments, even after repeated viewing. This is best seen with an audience. It a shame this film did not have a larger theatrical release. This would make a perfect midnight movie.

Was it supposed to be a comedy? Me thinks the sour acting had a hand in this comedy of horrors. The lead actresses are not all at the same level. The one actress delivers a particularly forced and adolescent performance. The more mature members of the cast delivered more genuine performances. With a little better casting, I think this film could have really made a mark. And, the writing - is this really what women sound like with each other? I mean horror is horror, right? Overall, eh, but maybe there's a long life for these players in just horror. So three stars and there's always time to improve.

I just saw this at Screamfest and really enjoyed it. Especially Tom's performance as Mr. Rogers. It really captures the fun and gore of the old school eighties slasher films with a smart script with lots of twist and surprises. The gore and makeup effects are killer. They were done by Kelton Ching who is a phenomenal makeup artist. Producer Ron Roggé was great as the reserve ranger. He really did a fantastic job putting this team together.

This film had several great breakout performances as well especially those from feature newcomers Jenna Alvarez and M. C. Huff. The relationship between these two really holds the film together.

Wow, this was one horrible movie.

The story-line is as old as Ling Tut. Secluded camp, a bunch of young kids, yada yada yada....

Phony jump scares up the yazoo.

A ridiculously pathetic, derivative script that will bore you to shreds and grade Z direction.

The acting is juvie level. Like 10th grade.

But the biggest problem is you've seen this all before. Like a zillion times. There is nothing new, nothing to wrap your head around and nothing original.

The non-hot girls wear padded bras and even tho they take them off, you see nothing. More disappointment. Although I suspect we'd be disappointed either way.

The film is a genre-bending romp. Solid talented cast, directing, writing, editing, music score, art direction, make up, visuals... All the way through.

It premiered at Screamfest in Hollywood. It twisted, turned, and paid off bigly for what felt like all of us sitting at the World Premiere audience. It's not listed as a comedy, but humor comes out of the honesty of the characters and a few subtle nods to camp. I believe the audience laughed out loud more times than in many comedies. Think movies like Scream, Dale and Tucker vs Evil...

It was a sold out house, and according to organizers, the crowd was insane in the best of ways. The film got an immediate Encore Screening at Screamfest 2022.
