Kill/Save Review – The Anti-Matrix Asks Why We’d Rather Live in a Simulation

Indie sci-fi continues to deliver the goods, and Kill/Save certainly catches the eye with its sleek, clinical aesthetic. The appeal goes beyond the visuals, though. Rather than dwell on the dangers of technology, the film flips the focus back on us, asking why we find more comfort in a simulation than in the real world around us. In other words, it’s the philosophical question Mark Zuckerberg would probably not want us to think about… Written by director Den Kryuchkov and producer Olga Loyanich, Kill/Save takes place in a dystopian reality in which it’s practically impossible to venture into the outside world. We meet programmer Martin (played by Matt Testro), who isn’t a fan of the metaverse and still values human connection. This puts him at odds with Teresa (Stephanie Gil), the woman he falls in love with and who prefers spending time in the virtual world.
