Reception
Ali Davis of AfterEllen said about the film: "Kill for Me is a rainy-day thriller. It's not something you need to alter your life to seek out, but it sure beats getting out of your pajamas on a day when you really don't have to."[2]
Love Horror gave the film two stars out of five, stating: "Drawing from several sources such as Strangers on a Train and Single White Female to name a few, Kill For Me is a twisted tale with a[sic] interesting story that deals with the cycle of abuse and the difficulties people have breaking free".[3]
Ken Tasho of EDGE Media Network wrote: "As per usual, the lesbianism in "Kill for Me" is downplayed and the love affair between Amanda and Hailey is minimal. But the sight of the two female leads dragging dead bodies and playing with guns is outlandish, if not laughable."[4]
