You're Killing Me

2015 ·1h 28m · ★ 5.5 (19)

Joe just told his boyfriend, George, that he is a serial killer. George thinks that his boyfriend, Joe, is hilarious... and he just saw Patricia Arquette at Target!!! In the horror/comedy hybrid, 'You're Killing Me', we take a look at the life and death consequences of dating in the age of incessant chatter. Joe and George meet just as Joe is coming out to himself as someone who loves to kill. George, on the other hand, can't decide which wig to wear for his next YouTube video. As George's friends start disappearing, one by one, he must face the undeniable fact that Gretchen might not be coming back with crushed ice for his party #YouDontNeedIceForChardonnay.

Why it matters

A darkly comic riff on modern dating anxiety that blends serial killer tropes with social media satire.

  • Sharp, quirky dialogue captures the exhausting noise of online culture and relationship oversharing.
  • Patricia Arquette’s surprise cameo adds an oddball charm amid the indie chaos.
  • For fans of horror-comedies that skew meta and self-aware, think a low-fi “The Voices” meets “You’re Next.”
  • The uneven tone won’t land for everyone, but the film’s playful take on murder as a metaphor for emotional exhaustion rewards patient viewers.
