It has been a banner year for the rebirth about horror films or thrillers about cults and satanists. After a week at Montreal’s Fantasia Film festival and seeing several variants on the subject, one could say it’s a new trend. And one not that has not coagulated in any serious way since the late 1970s early 1980s. Following Ti West’s House of the Devil, I say things are long over due. One film that was surprisingly absent at this years Fantasia, especially considering the cultish status of Down Terrace, was Ben Wheatley’s Kill List, which from talking to those who caught it at Cannes or SXSW, is a masterpiece of the genre, and the trailer at least popped up a little while ago. Unable to get to it in mid-festival, I’m posting it here now, in case you missed it.

Eight months after a disastrous job in Kiev left him physically and mentally scarred, ex-soldier turned contract killer Jay, is pressured by his partner Gal, into taking a new assignment. As they descend into the dark, disturbing world of the contract, Jay begins to unravel once again – his fear and paranoia sending him deep into the heart of darkness.

The Trailer is tucked under the seat.
