General Witchfinders & Ooser Fest present a special screening of Kill List (2011), hailed as a masterwork of modern British folk horror.
Nearly a year after a botched job in Kiev, an ex-soldier turned hitman accepts a new assignment promising a major payout for three contract killings. What begins as a straightforward hit soon unravels, dragging him into an unyielding heart of darkness.
· Directed by: Ben Wheatley (A Field in England, Sightseers, High-Rise, Free Fire, Rebecca, Meg 2: The Trench, Generation Z, Doctor Who)
· Starring: Neil Maskell (Peaky Blinders, Utopia, High-Rise), MyAnna Buring (The Witcher, The Descent, Ripper Street, Doctor Who), and Michael Smiley (Blue Lights, Luther, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Black Mirror)
The screening will be followed by an exclusive live Q&A with director Ben Wheatley, hosted by the General Witchfinders podcast. We are thrilled to welcome Ben to Dorchester amidst his international filming schedule for a rare, deep-dive discussion into his terrifying folk horror masterpiece.
