KILD TV premiered at this year's HorrorHound Weekend, where it won Best Feature and Best Actor in the HorrorHound Film Fest and is currently making the film festival rounds, mostly those concerning horror films.
D.C. Douglas (HorrorHound Film Fest Best Actor) plays Dr. Perseco, host of station KILD's Friday night horror movie program. But as the show progresses, Dr. Perseco and his crew discover that there is a killer in the station, who has also completely cut them off from the outside world. But when Dr. Perseco finds a way to communicate to his viewers about the terror unfolding at the station, will they send assistance to Dr. Perseco, or will they just sit back and enjoy the show, thinking that the carnage at the station is all part of the program?
First off, the movie is great. The day after I saw the world premiere at HorrorHound Weekend, I went and bought two copies at the convention, one for myself and one for a friend who couldn't make HorrorHound weekend.
Also, the concept of a man who presents "reel life" terror on TV is suddenly faced with real life terror is original. Out of all the slasher films of the past, this concept was never used, and makes one feel that this was a great concept and why did they wait until now to do this?
D.C. Douglas is awesome in the film. He is believable whether he is portraying the persona of Dr. Perseco or as a regular person, trying to figure out who the killer and concern over his fellow crew members.
And the mystery of trying to figure out who the killer is portrayed with logic, taking time to accomplish this, is greatly appreciated here, unlike other slasher films where the killer's identity is shoved down your throat in 90 seconds through exposition by the killer in those films.
Also, KILD TV has one of those "This Guy" jokes. Suffice it to say, "This Guy" jokes have never made me laugh, until the one in KILD TV. Congratulations guys, you finally made me laugh at one of those jokes. Well done indeed. And the film also has one of those YEAH!!!!!! moments which was greatly welcomed.
Part slasher film, part love letter to horror movie hosts, KILD TV is a welcome addition to any horror film collection.
