Reviews:
“Overall, this is a fine horror experience with a solid premise. The somewhat boring first act and annoying third act are mostly made up for by a solid second act. As far as 2023 movies go, this one will fall toward the middle of the pack as a forgettable thriller.” 3 out of 5, Disappointment Media
“Almost every other movie today tries to be more than what it is. They feel obliged to harbor an underlying conceit or social commentary, which doesn’t always work. You’re Killing Me never tries to do so and singularly focuses on creating a taut story where the possibilities for how it will turn out to be are many.” High on Films
“While all of this and the couple new turns that follow are fairly predictable, the filmmakers’ focus on the presumed power and casual cruelty of its antagonists gives the material some thematic heft and a decent amount of suspense, as well as terror in one sequence of complete helplessness. The combination makes You’re Killing Me a bit more than a well-crafted game.” 3 out of 4, Mark Reviews Movies
“You’re Killing Me is only 94 minutes long, and should have been 10-15 minutes longer because there were a few scenes that felt gave a slightly empty feeling. Also, the ending does leave some questions about Eden and Zara’s future. Overall, You’re Killing Me is a strong thriller with a talented cast.” Pop Culture
“Those wanting a decent horror flick with a bit of teen chatter won’t be going wrong adding You’re Killing Me to their watchlist over the next few days or weeks. You won’t be disappointed, but you won’t be rushing out to buy it on Blu-ray either. Like I said, decent.” Which Film
“What a good directing debut from Beth Hanna. It’s pretty good, and I really don’t know why it is getting such low ratings. The film was so suspenseful, it was so good. A film should make you genuinely nervous about what will come next and I found this doing that.” Wyatt’s Takes
