Watch Kill Theory For Free

Very well executed

Did you people see the same film I saw?

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I want the 80 minutes of my life back that it took to watch this.About 6 twenty-somethings are stuck at someone's summer house. The potentials for a fun weekend are there: nice babes, a lake and boat, plenty of beer ...and a gun.There are plenty of bare midriffs, suggestive talk then blood soaked clothing and various amputated human limbs.Some evil mastermind is watching over the entire scene and provides miscellaneous electronic communication via walkie talkies, video tapes and the like.The mastermind is trying to get the twenty-somethings to kill each other. The last man (or girl) standing gets a prize...a blood soaked fruit cake or A BRAND NEW CAR??? Don't bother to watch this...take a nap instead.I rate this: "zzzzzzzzzz"

KILL THEORY has an interesting premise - which has been done many times before - but aside from one or two actors, the general cast is full of pretty boys and girls who were very amateurish actors. Nothing going on in their eyes, monotone line readings and when many of them have to have moments of hysteria and panic - not one real MOMENT, no real tears - just ACTING - just people saying look at me ACT - do you believe ANY of this? Nope - not one bit. And my friends and I were laughing because it seemed that the director might have told the young cast when moments of murder and terror happen to "just wing it - just ad-lib" so literally every other word is the f-bomb, "what the f**k?" "are you f**king kidding me?" "f**k you!" There was more cussing in this than a Richard Pryor concert film and it added NOTHING. You could play a drinking game that every time they say f88k, you take a shot of booze but then you'd be...dead. And the cliché voice of the killer is some tired SAW-like copy - just once how about the killer sounds weak and nebbish? Just to shake things up a bit. The two blonde female leads were interchangeable but I swear one of them must be on Vicodin - you never such low energy, no spark readings in your life. If you wanna ride through Horror Cliché Town, grab a seat. KILL THEORY is an idea searching for a better script and some professional actors.

A criminal is released on parole after serving time for an incident while mountain climbing when he cut the rope that sent three of his friends falling to their doom. This culminates in a night where the man released sets up a game with a group of affluent, yuppie soon-to-be college graduates staying at the home of their host's father's posh summer place. During the evening, the kids, who seemed to be in high spirits and anxious for the prominent future, will be given a choice, one will be able to survive while the others must perish, cut off as the killer's friends were, his testing a "kill theory" where he sees how much one values his/her life, willing to sacrifice their own in order to make it out alive. So we watch as they pick apart each other, loyalties divided, betrayal and backstabbing, seeing first hand the true nature of many when facing extinction. We see a gun juggled around as it controls the possibility of who lives and dies. We see attempts at manipulation, while the mastermind behind this whole orchestrated scenario offers others a chance to gain an advantage, also denying anyone an escape from the premises. Six o'clock is the deadline and as the clock ticks, violence and desperation escalates until nearly everyone is dead in one way or another. A shovel is used to bash a face in until it's a bloody pulp. A fireplace poker is plunged into an eyeball and through the skull. A bear trap goes through one victim trying for an ax stuck in a tree stump. A knife is used to stab into the stomach and leg, one particular moment revealing a dark truth about how love can fall by the wayside when time is almost up. What does happen is we do see how true love reigns at the end when one does give his life for another after being double-crossed by who he perceived to be his one-and-only. Like the Saw movies and the genre as a whole where we see humankind's true nature when facing death first-hand, "Kill Theory" follows a select group of individuals and how they react to a crisis. Eventually, among them is one who is willing to pursue whatever lengths necessary to save his/her hide, while another character shows their true colors in a startling, abrupt manner, catching a victim off-guard because the one attacked has no reason to expect his assailant. Mind games are employed as a means to secure a weapon or motivate the more vulnerable to improve their situation. I think movies like "Kill Theory" and "Saw" series will always appeal to a certain crowd who enjoy seeing characters turn on each other, tearing each other apart through actions and words, while hoping to escape the killer's trap(s), falling prey to their own frailties and weaknesses, attempting to resolve a very difficult dilemma which has them in a stranglehold. As is often the case, the killer is always one step ahead of his playthings, the obstacles removing any ability to flee from their captor. Really attractive cast has familiar faces like Agnes Bruckner, Daniel Franzese, and Taryn Manning. Kevin Gage(Chaos)is yet again a serial killer whose face is barely shown, his voice both cold-blooded and to-the-point. As expected, there are a lot of spats and melodramatic relationship problems which play out as the story unfolds and body count rises.

I thought this was decent and better than expected bloody thriller with solid acting but this horror theme is very tiresome and recycled now and is no longer thrilling or scary. I thought it was well paced and had ordinary but very brutal kills but what really stands out in this movie and what makes it interesting is the psychological mind games the characters play on each other and the hard decisions they make in order to survive this twisted cat and mouse game. This is pretty much survival of the fittest for the slasher crowd with a mix of Saw, Scream and Battle Royale but less inventive because in the end nothing really stands out in this and is a forgettable throw away. I does have better production values than previous slashers from after dark horrorfest but like most movies from that fest you won't even remember the name of it in a few years. Overall it had an intriguing tagline, decent but as expected leads, ruthless violence and a harsh psychological, cat and mouse game the characters are forced to play and the final twist which is both the highlight of this otherwise forgettable thriller. Worth at least a rental but not a must see.
