Boyfriend Killer

About This Movie

Boyfriend Killer is a 2017 TV movie directed by Alyn Darnay that weaves a somber tale of grief and suspicion. The atmosphere is tense, with a slow burn that builds as the mother grapples with her son’s tragic end. The pacing meanders, which some may find frustrating, but it allows for deeper character exploration. Themes of loss and betrayal are prominent, and the performances, particularly from the lead, carry a weight that feels genuine. It's interesting how it plays with the idea of blame and the complexity of relationships. Practical effects are minimal, as the focus is on the emotional turmoil rather than flashy visuals. It’s definitely a film that sparks conversation about its choices.
