You're Killing Me is a 2026 American comedy-horror-crime film directed by Jerren Lauder and Beth Hanna, blending sharp romantic banter with darkly comedic murder mystery in the tradition of genre-mashup thrillers that refuse to take themselves too seriously.

What is You're Killing Me about?

The film centers on a charming but deeply unsettling romance between two young people whose chemistry is undeniable — until one of them starts to reveal genuinely alarming secrets. What begins as flirtatious wordplay and pop-culture-laden conversation slowly unravels into something far more sinister. The story plays with audience expectations: the meet-cute setup belongs to a romantic comedy, but the bodies and the body count belong somewhere darker. Witty exchanges punctuate scenes of escalating dread, keeping viewers off-balance as affection and alarm grow in equal measure. The script leans into its genre contradictions rather than resolving them.

Cast & crew

The film stars McKaley Miller alongside Dermot Mulroney and the late Anne Heche in a supporting role, with Wil Deusner, Brice Anthony Heller, Morgana Van Peebles, Keyara Milliner, and Jayson Warner Smith rounding out the ensemble. Dermot Mulroney, known for decades of work across drama and comedy, brings experience to the cast.
