What is going on in Kill List?
The British horror/thriller/mystery/I-have-no-real-idea-what-genre-fits movie Kill List was described by many critics as one of the best genre movies from the UK for ages.
It starts like a thriller drama and ends like some strange horror homage to The Wicker Man.
I'm confused about what is happening, especially near the end. Is there a reasonable explanation for why or how it ends the way it does or even: what the hell is happening?
Best Answer
There's no clear explanation at all in the film but I felt that the conspiracy revolved around using the lead character (and his family) as an elaborate and semi-complicit human sacrifice (semi-complicit as the lead character chooses to carry out the previous assassinations that set up the storyline and is pressed into taking the job by his wife). Having said that, I think that the film is meant to be open to your own interpretation but hope that's useful. :)

What is the plot of kill list?
It is a very solid plot and because it unfolds so quickly, it will have you thinking over it for some time as you will be overtaken by it when you first watch. The plot isn't the thing for me though \u2013 what makes it work so well is that the entire film is imbued with this sense of foreboding and lurking horror.Is Kill List worth watching?
It was filmed in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in England.The Kills - List of Demands (Reparations) (Official Video)
