I think I might do some research and try to provide an in-depth analysis of it.

I agree that KILL LIST will eventually find a cult following on dvd.<br /><br />Your analysis of the film as Leigh/GET CARTER/WICKER MAN is perfectly in line with my own thoughts, it's nice to get some validation on that :)<br /><br />As for Romanek, I'm very fond of ONE HOUR PHOTO and have been meaning to watch NEVER LET ME GO for some time. I'd never even heard of STATIC, but I'll add it to my list. I still think it's a tragedy that his WOLFMAN fell apart. Oh well.<br /><br />I agree that we are producing some excellent crime flicks down here. ANIMAL KINGDOM was great and I've heard lots of good things about SNOWTOWN. Nash is a talent to watch. Another great recent noirish movie is NOISE, and Brendan Cowell (sp?) is a another superb actor/writer. Highly recommended.<br /><br />As to why the genre is so strong here at the moment, I've wondered that myself and I'm not sure. Perhaps due to the success of UNDERBELLY on TV (I really enjoyed the first season, good stuff, but the followups are crap). It could also be that our history has been a bit uneventful, so our criminal underworld provides some of the juiciest mythology.Aylmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516338168860158163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755713389524860273.post-90345895951658790222012-01-14T10:07:24.740+11:002012-01-14T10:07:24.740+11:00Quality insights as usual, this film had a critica...Quality insights as usual, this film had a critical buzz, here in the UK but minimal screen support.<br /><br />I heartily reccomend Down Terrace it's in the vein of Tony/ Alan Clark.<br /><br />I myself saw Mike Leigh / Get Carter / Wicker Man in Kill List.<br /><br />Genre film gets no respect in the Uk and yet 28 Days cleaned up stateside.<br /><br />Methinks Kill List will be a slow DVD burner.<br /><br />If you have not seen Never Let Me Go by Mark Romanek then do so... a bit of ambient horror never hurt anyone. His first feature Static is also woth your time.<br /><br />I must also thank you for your efforts , there is so much digital detritus out there and so little time.<br /><br />Your ability to join the dots between high brow , low brow and no brow is on it!<br /><br />Whatever IT! may be?<br /><br />Too many people believe horror is an english language medium whilst those who 'care' know it is a global medium/genre.<br /><br />Ordeal/ Martyrs/ Inside and Frontiers normally do the job for the dilettantes.<br /><br />Australia at the moment is redefining noir / the crime flick. Animal Kingdom/Snowtown and The Square all come to mind.<br /><br />In your opinion, why is this?<br /><br />Nash Edgerton is a major talentin my humble but informed opinion.<br /><br />Anyway, enough from me, all the best to you and yours......keep on, keeping on.Roachboynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755713389524860273.post-11080083432416079342012-01-12T13:54:46.354+11:002012-01-12T13:54:46.354+11:00Wes - you won't regret it!

However I was less forgiving of the third as it seemed to be a mish-mash of one classic film with two (if not more) fairly high profile genre movies from the last 5 years. But its worst sin (IMHO) is that it breaks its climax breaks its own internal logic to the point where it doesn't quite add up unless you *really* make a stretch. <br /><br />It's hard to elaborate without spoiling it for people who haven't seen it yet. Definitely worth a look though my expectations were possibly too high.<br /><br />Your blog is great, keep at it!DRNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755713389524860273.post-19099743065953443122012-01-10T00:46:37.945+11:002012-01-10T00:46:37.945+11:00Good stuff Aylmer - I've seen this film gettin...Good stuff Aylmer - I've seen this film getting good notices but this is the first time I've actually <i>read</i> anything about it - it sounds really intruiging.
