When Dakota tries to break off her toxic relationship with Axel, it starts transforming him into a monstrous creature with increased aggression, a touch that melts skin and worst of all, he's contagious. As the toxicity fully takes hold, Dakota becomes equally infected, as the pair grapple with the remains of their relationship, which threatens to come to a bloody end....

Its horror lies in how a certain type of relationship, although so easy to fall into and seek comfort, can also effortlessly create monsters out of any of us.

7/10

For all its fantastical traits, Kill Your Lover is an achingly real love story. Come for the smell of toasted appendages, but stay for an openly wounded take on an experience we all probably know too well.

At its worst, Kill Your Lover is a poorly executed pseudo-horror that feels more like something a couple of teenagers threw together one weekend.

Writers/directors Alix Austin and Keir Siewert aren't exactly dealing with subtext here.

Kill Your Lover has a few missteps in its overall production, but it mostly makes up for these flaws by tactfully embracing a classic film trope.
