Reclusive gym manager Lou (Kristen Stewart) falls hard for Jackie (Katy O’Brian), an ambitious bodybuilder headed to Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But when their love ignites violence, they’re pulled deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family.

“Love Lies Bleeding‘s total lack of filter is its greatest strength. It’s the sort of film you instinctively want to tuck under a mattress: hot, nasty and mouth-wateringly disreputable, this is cinema with nothing to lose.” — Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
