To Die For

About This Movie

So, 'To Die For' is this under-the-radar horror flick from '88 that really plays with the voyeuristic themes of desire and obsession. You have Kate Wooten, played by a solid actress, who gets tangled up with the enigmatic Vlad—a character that just oozes mystery. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it ramps up nicely as Kate's infatuation turns darker. The cinematography captures those isolated Hollywood Hills beautifully, adding to the eerie vibe. Practical effects are minimal but effective, and there’s a certain rawness to the performances that pulls you in. It’s not what you’d think of as a typical slasher; it’s more psychological, with a haunting atmosphere that lingers well after the credits roll.
