Pretty Kill

About This Movie

Pretty Kill feels like a gritty dive into the underbelly of crime and horror, really. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating, and the pacing can be unsettlingly slow, which adds to that creeping dread. It’s not just about the murders; it digs into the detective's psyche too, especially with his girlfriend's mental decline. The practical effects, though not lavish, do their job well, creating a visceral sense of danger. Performances are raw, which suits the film's dark tone. There's this lurking tension throughout, as the lines between sanity and madness blur. The film's distinctive take on the serial killer trope, mixed with a personal tragedy, definitely makes it a unique entry in the genre.
