Killing for Love operates as a conventional 1990s slasher that relies heavily on established genre clichés. The film adheres to the social and narrative hierarchies of its era rather than attempting to challenge them. The storytelling prioritizes traditional archetypes, particularly regarding gender and sexuality. By centering the plot on heterosexual couples and female vulnerability, the film reinforces the status quo of mid-1990s horror cinema. Ultimately, the production lacks intentionality regarding diverse representation. It functions as a standard genre piece that mirrors the demographic and cultural patterns of its time.
