Kill Theory: Deep Down We're All Killers

Here's another movie review I'm going to make. It's Kill Theory. Another After Dark Horrorfest movie and I consider it to be one of the better After Dark films since Clive Barker's Dread which I reviewed a while ago. Kill Theory is one of those films that has a really similar feel to Saw. The concept and the plot is really similar to Saw. At least everything is similar to Saw because the entire concept of this movie feels like a Saw rip off. This is After Dark's best offerings since Clive Barker's Dread and it is better than the other After Dark films that were really lazy and poor(Take ZMD: Zombies Of Mass Destruction as an example of an awful After Dark movie along with The Graves another lazy After Dark film due to it's horrendous acting and no suspense at all). For one reason Kill Theory is a really smart Horror film that has the right feel and the right concept and it is sheer perfection because this film has all of the suspense and tension on every level and it instantly goes up the hill really fast. The plot actually has several similarities to Battle Royal and The Hunger Games mixed with Saw elements if you ever heard of  Battle Royal a film where all the students are forced to kill each other and the 2012 Gary Ross' adaptation of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This film is like Battle Royale or The Hunger Games mixed with Saw elements. Everything about Kill Theory is neat and perfect. The film is full of Jolty thrills and suspense with nonstop tension and most of all this movie has a lot of inventive gore effects and achieved graphic violence.
From the first sequence when the killer is starting to terrorize the group the film is full of onscreen and nonstop graphic violence and gore. And it perfectly fits well for the movie. There are lots of violent scenes in this movie. The scene where Freddy gets his eye stabbed is one of the nastiest scenes in the film. There are lots of incredible trap scenes that are really intense like the scene where Carlos gets his body rigged in a trap that is almost similar to a bear trap bigger only those scenes are really intense and thrilling. The shovel scene is super brutal in the film where the guy in an orange long sleeve shirt gets his hand shoved off with a shovel before he gets beaten to death with the shovel by his girlfriend those are one of the most gruesome scenes in the movie and the way the girl shoved her boyfriend's hand was really similar to Re Animator's shovel sequence.
As for the killer you don't get to see his face until the ending you can barely see the guy's face. Mainly the killer is like Jigsaw from the Saw movies because his reaction towards the teens are like Jigsaw's personalities and he is somehow similar to Jigsaw. Although you can barely see his arm with a really big tattoo and most of his shadow in every scene the guy just makes orders first towards the teens and he suddenly watches somewhere where no one can see him easily and he is really sneaky and smart he doesn't get caught at all and he is the eye in the sky he sees everything and he hears everyone and he can also stop the things they planned like when the teens tried to escape by driving they're van and uses a spike trap to flatten the tires and he also does somethings if the teens doesn't follow his rules like placing Carlos' body outside while he's still breathing even though he's still alive so that he can kill him he is one genius serial killer who is really sneaky towards the teens. The writing of this movie is perfect Writer Kelly C. Palmer has a lot of crazy ideas that are panned in the box and Kelly's writing is perfect the screenplay is well written and the script is fine and clean. On the downside Kill Theory is full of problems and faults from start to finish. The concept of the film maybe perfect but there are some problems with it. The first problem with Kill Theory is the pacing of the film. The film's pace is too slow meaning the film is too slow paced from start to finish. The second problem with Kill Theory is that the movie is too lengthy on every scene. The third problem with Kill Theory is that the movie is too predictable. The fourth problem with Kill Theory is that the film is full of cliches and the last and final problem with Kill Theory is that there are too many faults and problems with the movie from start to finish but it's an ok movie so far. Director Chris Moore really did a good job with his directing with this movie and I hope that he makes another good Horror movie for the future. Overall Kill Theory is a great Horror film it is one of the better After Dark films since Clive Barker's Dread.
