Kaleidoscope Entertainment will release Scottish thriller KILL in cinemas from this weekend, September 13.
Produced by Glasgow production company, Synchronicity Films and shot in rural Scotland, on location at an estate in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, the film represents quality Scottish filmmaking and creative output at its best.
KILL features a star-studded, largely Scottish cast including Daniel Portman (Game of Thrones), Brian Vernel (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Dunkirk), Paul Higgins (The Thick of It, Line of Duty), Calum Ross (Wednesday), and James Harkness (Darkest Hour, Rogue One).
Officially selected for the 2023 Edinburgh Film Festival, the film has already received a strong critical response with The Herald calling it “Taught and Original” and Loud and Clear hailing it as a “Non-Stop Thriller”.
Stalking for deer in the remote Scottish wilderness, three brothers plot to put an end to their violent and abusive father, the man responsible for the recent death of their mother. Burying Don in a shallow grave they make their way back home to their farmhouse. But what should be a new beginning could bring about their end.
Returning to the scene of the crime to retrieve the key to the family safe, and their inheritance, they begin the gruesome task of digging up their dad, only to find his body gone. Is Don really dead? Does their affable cousin know more than he’s letting on? Or is one of the brothers betraying them all?
Already weighed down by guilt and now stricken with fear, the boys begin to show their true natures as day turns to night, and their hope for freedom turns into a desperate struggle to survive. For someone is now out there in the forest, hunting them.
