Black Hearted Killer (2020 TV Movie)

Kelley Jakle is good but the rest of the film is just okay

[6/10 · 26 December 2021]

Black Hearted Killers is a decent little thriller if you need to check your brain for 90 minutes, but it is nothing extraordinary either. The film follows Julie and Dennis Cummings, who, after the death of their daughter, are contacted by Vera, the recipient of their daughter's heart. Julie and Dennis tell them how grateful she is to have their daughter's heart. But the more time Vera spends with Julie and Dennis, the more she begins to cross boundaries. When Julie and Dennis ask Vera to leave, someone mysteriously ransacks their home and vandalizes their car. Determined to prove Vera is the culprit, Dennis and Julie investigate Vera's past and discover that her sister was killed in the same accident as their daughter, who was reading text messages from Julie while driving. Now, Vera is out for revenge and wants to make Julie pay with her life. The first two acts of this movie aren't bad, although the acting is a bit wooden at times. And I thought Kelley Jakle did a great job as the crazy psycho stalker girl. However, the film kind of falls apart at the end when you find out why Kelley Jackle's character is the way she is. And I can't help but wonder if her end goal was to kill them. Why didn't she do it earlier? She could've quickly taken them out earlier at their home. She isn't the only one who made bad decisions. Every decision Julie made was the wrong one. Also, the movie just kind of ended. All in all, it's a decent movie if you don't overthink it, but it is nothing great.
