merklekranz Review of Love Me Deadly

Love Me Deadly (1972)

Perfect entertainment for a surprise necrophilia party ............

[2/10 · 3 March 2010]

"Love Me Deadly" is nothing more than a severely dated time capsule from the 1970s. It all starts with some pretty annoying vocals, followed by some very annoying piano music. By way of flashbacks we gradually are enlightened as to why the heroine prefers dead men in bed, rather than her husband. What is not enlightening is the totally dead space filled with walking around art galleries, driving to funeral homes, strolling in the park, barbecuing, sitting in front of a fireplace, etc. etc. etc. I would say that the only thing "genuinely deeply shocking" about "Love Me Deadly" is how shockingly boring it is. Even uncut and uncensored, this is a real yawn fest. - MERK
