Devil Worshippers Get Put On The Kill List

Now I am absolutely not condoning killing anyone, but I would imagine the Satan worshippers in the upcoming movie The Kill List won't be of the wine-sipping socialite-types. If they were, why would we need a "group of demobbed soldiers turned contract killers" to take care of them. Well, that's the premise of director Ben Wheatley's pitch for the film. These Satan worshippers are a coven and they are apparently on The Kill List. According to the website Deadline, "Wheatley’s feature debut Down Terrace...just won the Grand Jury Prize at the Boston Film Festival. It has also won Best Film at Raindance, the Raindance Award at the Bifas and Best Picture and Best Screenplay at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas."

Wheatley stated that he has plans to "shoot (The Kill List) in the British social realism tradition of Ken Loach. Producer Warp X is expected to start filming this summer." The director wants the movie to have a "socially realistic style." He stated,

“It’s about making banging genre films and treating them in a realistic way.”
