Variety
pressDisplaying both a nasty edge and a playful sense of humor... Kill List is several cuts above its fellow midbudget horror brethren.
Time Out
pressAllow the film to take hold and its power is inescapable: the effect is like placing your head in a vice and waiting as it inexorably closes.
Time Out
pressEnlivens its schematic, episodic story with some teary domestic drama and a wacky Wicker Man ending.
Roger Ebert
pressIt's baffling and goofy, blood-soaked and not boring. That it's well-made adds to the confusion; it feels like a better film than it turns out to be.
Hollywood Reporter
pressDeeply edgy, gory crime film maintains perfectly calibrated tension before dropping a bombshell that will be too much for some viewers.
