    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Shel's phone-call (in Swedish) was entirely improvised by MyAnna Buring. The filmmakers had no idea what she said until much later.
    • Goofs
      In one of the scenes where the Jay, Shel, Gal and Fiona are drinking, there is a close up of a wine bottle and some glasses. The bottle says it is a pinot grigio, but the wine in the glasses is red and they are only ever shown drinking red wine.
    • Quotes

      Gal: Come on, mate. Let's get you to bed. Don't pay any attention to them, they are just over-excited.

      Sam: Why?

      Gal: Because they have been drinking, all right? Don't you ever drink, do you hear me? Promise?

      Sam: Not even water?

      Gal: Especially not that shit. Do you know the government puts stuff in it that shrinks your balls?

    Uncomfortable and effective
    Kill List is a really creepy and uncomfortable film. Wheatley unflinchingly shows us bleak and souless parts of Britain and the horror really comes from the realism and not knowing where the film might go next and what you might see. The 2 leads are excellent, coming off as vulnerable even though they are both powerful and deadly forces in their own right. There are many comparisons to be made to other movies but all would spoil it so I would say Kill List is best watched with no prior knowledge or expectation.
