Great low budget film!, 11 March 2001
10/10
Author: John Cutter

I must say this movie is one of the best low budget UK features I've seen in a long time. I watched it on VHS and now have my own copy on DVD. The Killing Zone serves to remind us what's possible within the medium of film no matter how low budget the film is. Director Ian David Diaz's debut feature is griping and hilarious from start to finish and I can honestly say I was hooked from the off. What impresses me the most is Diaz's direction and imagination; he has an undeniable talent for bringing out the best in all his cast as well creating quirky visual characters. My only question is why was it not release in the cinemas?
