Hello!
Anders Holmes is back with a new solo Anders Reviews. . . episode.
Spooky Season is now in session, summer is over, the days are getting shorter and colder. It is the perfect time of the year to sit down and watch a horror film or two. Or many if you're a big horror nut, like Anders.
On this episode, Anders reviews and discusses Ben Wheatley's 2011 film: Kill List. Kill List is a film that will surprise you in a big and spooky way. It starts off being one film and as it goes along, it goes into some dark and dangerous unpredictable territory. A scary film that relies on atmosphere and suspenseful feelings of dread more than gore and some demon appearing out of thin air. A tremendous and unique film, made by a unique and singular British filmmaker who has made both indie and big budget studio films. Kill List stars Neil Maskell, MyAnna Buring and Michael Smile. Maskell and Smiley play Jay and Gal, two former soldiers who work as hitmen. Jay in particular is rattled by a job in Kiev that went very wrong and is dealing with financial problems. Problems that affect his hostile and unstable marriage with Shel, played by MyAnna Buring. She also starred in the great horror film The Descent. And... Lesbian Vampire Killers. A mysterious client hires Jay and Gal to perform a job, where there are multiple targets. As the job goes on, it starts to bear down on the troubled and broken Jay. And his fragile psyche becomes affected.

Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US and the UK. In Finland it was released on Apple TV after finishing its limited cinema run and was the Number 1 film for multiple weeks. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website. The film is now available to watch in the other Nordic territories like Sweden, Oslo and of course Denmark. If you live in Denmark, you can watch the movie here on Apple TV by clicking this link.
