Eight months after a disastrous hit job in Kiev left him physically and mentally scarred, Jay (Maskell) is pressured by his partner Gal (Smiley), into taking a new assignment. As they descend into the bizarre, disturbing world of the contract, Jay's world begins to unravel until fear and paranoia sending him reeling towards a horrifying point of no return.

A bit pricey at the moment (@ $20.99), though not unexpected for a pre-order item. The UK Double Play release is £8.00 (on Amazon UK) at the moment, but region B-locked, yet the single disc release is £15.99 but listed as region-free.

I'll just wait for the best possible price before making a decision.

The single-disc isn't region locked, but the version that comes with the DVD is? That's got to be a mistake, right? I wouldn't trust that until I see it mentioned elsewhere as well.

Actually, it is just a simple case of someone at Amazon.UK posting random "specs".

I have the UK release with slipcover. I might double dip depending on how this one compares.

Thanks for the clarification. The fact that it's a region B-locked title doesn't bother me (as I have a region-free player), but I can see this "random spec" misleading a few customers.

I was just told that a guy who did the best job of following in Stanley Kubrick's footsteps is Ben Wheatley with "Kill List". I'm gonna have to check this out.

This film hasn't been mentioned for a long time, but I was doing some googling in anticipation of the Folk Horror box set and this one was cited as being an unique example of the genre. It certainly is. It's what I call a 'slash film'... not slash in the sense of slasher, but slash in the sense of genre crossing... It's a crime/psychological thriller/horror movie and as the movie progresses, it mutates and evolves. The violence is brutal and the film is cold and black hearted, but that is the point of it. It reminds me of other more recent films, most notably Mandy. I look for films that have 1 star and 5 star reviews and nothing in the middle, and this film is right up my alley.

I think it's interesting that the genre of folk horror is getting so much attention now, even though it's been around for a long time- we just didn't have a name for it.
