Trendy Gamers: Ever wonder how it’s possible for award winning, highly lauded independent films to be denied decent distribution deals? Well, Kill List is like a Nobel Prize worthy answer to that question. The next time you’re on Rotten Tomatoes and swear you’ve found that next sleeper hit, or that rare indie gem you can impress all your friends with, temper your expectations, because there’s a good chance you’re wasting your time.
Kill List is an entirely symbolic exploration of the descent into evil.
Kill List is the second film by British director Ben Wheatley, following on from 2009’s Down Terrace. Co-written with his wife Amy Jump, the film is something of a genre mashup, taking in kitchen sink domestic drama, the 'one last job' hitman movie, and, somewhat jarringly, occult horror.
Bizarre, unfocused, and deeply unpleasant; like watching scenes from two separate movies fighting for the same space.
