Prime Video has just added a brilliant 2024 crime thriller movie

While not for the faint of heart, the film is certain to appear on many best of 2024 lists.

Prime Video has just added Love Lies Bleeding, a 2024 noir crime thriller that is sure to go down as one of the year's best movies.

The film stars newcomer Katy O'Brian (Twisters) as Jackie, a bodybuilder who arrives in a rural New Mexican town in the '80s as she prepares for a bodybuilding competition in Las Vegas.

While there, she enters a whirlwind romance with a reclusive gym manager named Lou (Kristen Stewart, Spencer).

While Lou is estranged from her dysfunctional criminal family - run by her father Lou Sr. (Westworld's Ed Harris wearing an insane wig) - it isn't long before the two lovers are dragged into a dark and very violent web of drugs and murder.

The sophomore effort of director Rose Glass (the excellent horror Saint Maud), Love Lies Bleeding also features amongst its cast Anna Baryshnikov (Dickinson), Dave Franco (21 Jump Street) and Jena Malone (Donnie Darko).

And thanks to Glass' dazzlingly stylish direction, O'Brian and Stewart's sizzling chemistry and the movie's twisted and twisty plot - which often spills over into shocking, visceral carnage - the film has earned rave reviews.

Holding a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, you can read some of the glowing write-ups for Love Lies Bleeding right here:

The Australian: "It’s a bare-knuckle ride propelled by strong performances by the ever-watchable Kristen Stewart, the physically imposing Katy O’Brian and a lean and mean Ed Harris, wearing a wig that is a fright scene all on its own."

Crooked Marquee: "With her co-writer Weronika Tofilska, director Rose Glass has made an utterly electric film; it’s exhilarating in how far and how hard it’s willing to go."

Empire: "Visceral and heady, this is a blood-soaked, all-American fable that’s as if Thelma And Louise literally went on steroids. Rose Glass is a force to be reckoned with."

The Guardian: "British film-maker Rose Glass lets rip with some pure roid-rage cinema in this uproarious, horribly violent and lethally smart noir thriller sited in the Venn diagram overlap between bodybuilding, murder and sex."

iNews.co.uk: "Rose Glass's gory sensibility is put to good use in this steroid-popping, hyper-violent love story."

Observer UK: "This is a movie that will find its people. And once it does, cult status is more or less assured."

Love Lies is Bleeding is streaming on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland right now.
