Reel Review: The Killing Cove

The Killing Cove sets itself up as a revenge thriller but veers off course quickly. What starts as two sisters plotting justice after a party assault turns into a confusing mash of horror-lite and teen soap. There’s the atmosphere—coastal gloom, a few solid shots—but the script plays it safe. Dialogue is stiff, twists are forced, and any real tension is undercut by awkward pacing. Precious Way does what she can with thin material, but the film keeps shifting tones without committing to any. It’s not terrible, just aimless. You’ll forget it five minutes after it ends.

Mitten’s Verdict: Storm’s coming, but all we get is drizzle. Rated: 3.8 out of 10.
