Displaying both a nasty edge and a playful sense of humor... Kill List is several cuts above its fellow midbudget horror brethren.
Full reviewCritically acclaimed British horror and thriller from director Ben Wheatley. Tells the story of an ex-soldier turned contract killer (Neil Maskell) who, eight months after a disastrous job in Kiev left him physically and mentally scarred, is pressured by his partner Gal (Michael Smiley) into taking a new assignment. As they descend into the bizarre, disturbing world of the contract, Jay's world begins to unravel until fear and paranoia send him reeling towards a horrifying point of no return.

Full reviewAllow 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.
Full reviewEnlivens its schematic, episodic story with some teary domestic drama and a wacky Wicker Man ending.
Full reviewIt'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.
Full reviewDeeply edgy, gory crime film maintains perfectly calibrated tension before dropping a bombshell that will be too much for some viewers.
Full reviewWith this, Wheatley elevates himself from kill list to A list. Right now, he's among the most promising filmmakers in Britain.
