At long last, us yanks will get a gander at Ben Wheatley’s highly-acclaimed KILL LIST. (Well, the yanks who weren’t lucky enough to see it at SXSW earlier this year.) IFC, which acquired the flick way back in March, is finally ready to drop the crime thriller/horror number into our laps via their On Demand service on JANUARY 4th.
However, if you’re in NYC, you can see the film early: It will be playing at Lincoln Center as part of their Scary Movies Festival. (Click HERE to read more about that.) You’ll have to act fast, though – it screens this Thursday.
The synopsis for KILL LIST: Eight months after a botched job in Kiev, Jay (Neil Maskell) is an out-of-work hitman with no job, money, health insurance and a wife constantly on his case. But when his business partner Gal (Michael Smiley) comes over for dinner and pressures Jay into taking a new assignment, Jay quickly finds himself back in the game with the promise of a big payoff after three assassinations. Although the hits start off without incident, soon things begin to unravel and Jay’s paranoia reveals itself as he is plunged into the heart of darkness.
