When helping to create Killer Queen, I didn't want to tell just a basic story. I wanted to make the audience feel something but something unique from the very first scene of the film. My goal was to build a large amount of tension and uncertainty as well as a sense of an underlying feeling of uneasy. I wanted the viewers to frequently question what was true? Who can trust we? What was Roxy's real motives? Is she a victim? Villain? Or both?
I also really wanted the film to touch emotional layers through Roxy's past trauma and the telling of prom night mystery. I hope that I sparked a small amount of empathy for Roxy, and anger and disappointment towards her. At the same time I wanted to aim to leave the audience slightly uncomfortable, forcing them to reflect on how high school cliques, revenge, and mental health are often portrayed in the media. Overall, I wanted Killer Queen to be more than just a drama/horror. I wanted it to stay in the mind of those even after the credits roll.
