Home Kill
Short Film (Full Length) – 2000
Some of them just aren't meant to make it.– Ken (Ron Harper)
(Steve Springett's script) was that rare kind of script — a blueprint for a cinematic event — and I felt it was an opportunity to work in an expressionistic vein, because the essential element of a gothic chiller is extreme emotional states.– Director Andrew Bancroft
