Dying To Kill

About This Movie

Dying To Kill is an interesting blend of horror and thriller, wrapped in a very claustrophobic feel. The premise is simple yet tense; a stand-up comic held captive must tell four jokes to please his captor. It creates this unique interplay of comedy and terror, playing on the idea of laughter as both medicine and a weapon. The pacing feels deliberate, drawing you into the comic's desperation and the captor's dark humor. The practical effects aren’t over the top, but they serve the narrative well, grounding the horror in reality. The performances are raw, especially the dynamic between the comic and his captor. It’s not your typical horror fare, which is what makes it stand out.

Solid exploration of dark humor · Interesting character dynamics · Unique premise in the horror genre
