Kill Your Lover can be best described as a horror drama. The plot is straightforward, and there are no distracting sub-plots. As a low-budget film, the horror elements were quite ambitious, but the execution was flawed. You cannot take the film seriously when your entire focus is on the badly drawn blue veins on the characters’ bodies. Overall, it is one of those horror films that you forget immediately after watching, and you are never going to recommend it to your friends.

Dakota has had enough of her toxic relationship with Axel, but the feeling isn’t mutual. As she tries to end things, Axel becomes something different, something monstrous. He gradually succumbs to the poison of the decaying relationship, becoming a creature with increased aggression, a touch that melts skin and, worst of all, he’s contagious.
Brit horror Kill Your Lover is, at its core, a heavy-handed allegory/visual metaphor for a toxic relationship and a hard break up; all wrapped up in what is a grisly body horror which helps cover what is essentially a short story, spun out to feature length by drawn out fights between the warring couple.
Kill Your Lover is held together by its two central characters, Dakota and Axel, played by Paige Gilmour and Shane Quigley Murphy respectively,...
