Love is a monster in the British independent shocker.
Dark Sky Films has announced that KILL YOUR LOVER is coming to select theaters and VOD/digital platforms June 7. Written and directed by Alix Austin and Keir Siewert, it stars Paige Gilmour, Shane Quigley Murphy, May Kelly, Chloe Wigmore and Joshua Whincup. The synopsis: “Dakota and Axel’s [Gilmour and Murphy] relationship is a toxic mess. She knows it, everybody does…except Axel. The only thing is, until Dakota tries to break up with Axel, she doesn’t know how truly toxic it will become. The mere idea of splitting up causes Axel to become intensely ill, sprouting grotesque black veins and excreting a strange sticky liquid. His touch burns flesh and his need to hang onto Dakota becomes irrationally powerful. Nobody is going to take her away from him, not even the paramedics that Dakota calls to deal with Axel’s rapidly worsening condition. The two grapple with what remains of their once passionate relationship–and how what was built on sexual passion and punk rock could end with blood spilt, lives lost and at least one heart broken, literally.”
