YOU’RE KILLING ME, an inventive and genre-bending horror/romantic comedy, has been released in DVD and VOD today from Wolfe Video!

We loved this movie when we saw it at Outfest last year and now it’s here for everyone! You’re Killing Me is a charming little movie about Joe (Matthew McKelligon), a young man who is struggling with a secret. Dipping his toe into the daunting world of dating and relationships, Joe is beginning to find himself. In contrast to the superfluous, often irreverent and sarcastic, social media obsessed, 20-somethings around him, Joe is an introvert. Straightforward and otherwise mild mannered, nobody takes him seriously when he simply tells them he has the urge to be a serial killer.

Check out the trailer here…

We next meet George, played by the film’s co-writer Jeffery Self. A self-absorbed, social media prima dona, George speaks in sentences of 140 characters or less. He and his long-time YouTube collaborator friend, Barnes (Bryan Safi) are BFF’s who obsess more about what wigs they will wear in their next videos than they do the real, human relationships around them.

George meets Joe, and despite the creepy way they run into each other, they hit it off.  Soon Joe is thrust into George’s circle of friends.  Here we meet up with Cameron (the scene-stealing Drew Droege), Barnes’ ex Louis (another scene stealer, Jack Plotnick), Barnes’ current boyfriend Oli (Shaughn Buchholz), and quintessential fag hag Emma (Edi Patterson).  The group sips iced chardonnay, and struggles through a board game while having a sound-bite style conversation. Far more obsessed with looks and witty comments, it goes totally undetected that our dear Joe is outright confessing murder.George and Joe’s budding relationship continues, and as complications arise, Joe’s catch-all answer is to literally kill the problem.  Interspersed are wonderful scenes with Joe’s therapist, Dr. Strauss (the effortlessly comedic Sam Pancake). Strauss has worked with Joe his whole life, and is delicate with the words he chooses with his patient.  He knows the danger and tries to guide him with a calm, reassuring demeanor in contrast to the frenzy of bobble headed idiots in his patient’s life.

Director / Co-writer Jim Hansen deftly makes the transition from small-screen YouTube darling to the big screen with this frothy, bloody confection.  Founder of the comedy group The Orphans, Hansen and his cast have a natural ability to deliver rapid-fire comedy while keeping a narrative in motion.  The chatter between the friends in this movie is comedy gold. Editing is also quite good here, with cutaway shots of the disturbing mental imagery inside Joe’s head punctuating scenes with some laugh out loud moments. We are also treated to some fun cameos by Facts of Life’s Mindy Cohn, and the wonderfully icy Carolyn Hennesy as Joe’s mother.

Drew Droege as Cameron and Edi Patterson Emma

Clocking in at a lean 88 minutes, this is a breezy, bloody love story with razor-sharp wit.  A horror/rom-com with blood and heart.

George (Jeffery Self), a narcissistic wannabe internet star, starts dating Joe (Matthew McKelligon), a monotone serial killer. While all of George’s friends agree that Joe seems a bit strange, George claims his new beau “isn’t scary, he’s gorgeous.” But as George’s friends start to disappear, the remaining group decides to take matters into their own hands.
