Review: Kill List

Kill List is just the kind of low-budget indie horror that manages to market itself brilliantly purely by virtue of being a low-budget indie horror. The sparing ads reveal nothing other than spooky woods and five-star ratings; the posters lay out an assortment of weapons but offer no context; the trailers reveal nothing but a British gangster movie with a possible sting in the tail. "They're bad people," growls Neil Maskell's hitman, Jay, gazing into a burning fire. "They deserve to suffer." And that's your lot. All you know is that it definitely isn't a romantic comedy, and that the chances of a Rupert Grint cameo are pretty slim.
