KILL YOUR LOVER (Winner of Dead Northern’s Best Feature 2024), a razor-sharp and visceral exploration of toxic love with a punk edge, is releasing July 7th, 2025 on digital platforms across the UK and Ireland.

Directed by writer-director team A/K (Alix Austin & Keir Siewert), KILL YOUR LOVER was originally shot in the UK and had a successful international festival run, shocking audiences across Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, Overlook Film Festival, Hard:Line and FrightFest Glasgow. The film took home Best Effects at Brooklyn Horror, Best Feature at Dead Northern Film Festival, and Best British Feature Film at Romford Film Festival, earning acclaim for its genre-defying aesthetic and raw emotional core.

Described by Brooklyn Horror Film Festival’s Matt Barone as “both an uncompromising breakup film and a wild new entry into the body horror canon, co-directors Alix Austin and Keir Siewert’s debut feature roars with a punk edge and killer practical effects and soars via dynamite performances from newcomers Paige Gilmour and Shane Quigley-Murphy.”

The film was produced by Switchblade Cinema and executive produced by Douglas Cox (Shadowhouse Films) and James Isilay (Screencrib).

Austin & Siewert are a part of this year’s BIFA Springboard Genre Cohort, mentored by Ed King (HIS HOUSE), and are developing their next feature with Douglas Cox (HOST), who is producing through his Shadowhouse Films banner

Synopsis: When Dakota tries to break off her toxic relationship with Axel, it starts transforming him into a monstrous creature with increased aggression, a touch that melts skin and worst of all, he’s contagious…

KILL YOUR LOVER adds a vital new voice in British horror cinema— a riotous, gutsy, and unforgettable vision of love gone rancid.

The film is being distributed in the UK & Ireland by Alarm Pictures, represented by Sales Agent MPI Media Group. Available to watch now on Amazon Prime & SkyStore!
