"Displaying both a nasty edge and a playful sense of humor... Kill List is several cuts above its fellow midbudget horror brethren."

Total Film"Allow 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."

Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"With this, Wheatley elevates himself from kill list to A list. Right now, he's among the most promising filmmakers in Britain."
