The filmmakers of "Killer Crush" were not short on imagination in devising the sadistic character of Paige York. It is especially in the final third of the film that the pacing picked up following multiple surprises generated from the twisted mind of Paige.
Paige York had a rough upbringing when her mother died of a drug overdose. Her father was sent to prison for white color crimes. The film opens with the father asking his two daughters for financial assistance to start a crazy business scam. When they refuse, he shoots himself with a rifle in his trailer.
A shortcoming of the film was that it was never believable that Paige was in med school. She never cracked a book, and it was difficult to believe that she could devote endless hours assisting in the home of Dr. Lucas Emery, a distinguished surgeon and cancer researcher. How was it possible for Paige to be admitted to the medical school of Riverton University in Philadelphia?
It was also not clear that Paige had a crush on the doctor, as implied in the film's title. The connection with the doctor appeared to be the springboard for multiple sadistic acts of Paige that included the murder of the doctor's wife and her own sister. But it was never clear what actually was Paige's motivation for the atrocities she committed.
There was an important clue early in the film when a policeman asked if Paige is off in herself again. Indeed, Paige was living on another plane than human reality. But in addition to her derangement, there was also a cunning quality that was just as disturbing as her wounded soul.
