      It’s a chilling, assured debut for writer/director Power, packed with promise and a startlingly mundane sort of violence which is all the more shocking for its realism.

      Paste Magazine

      It’s a really well-made genre movie, the product of a smart, obviously skilled filmmaker with a good sense of economy.

      What Backcountry did for campfire creature attacks Killing Ground does for murderous bushmen in the same setting.

      Los Angeles Times

      Killing Ground is an effective indie creeper that unnerves the audience with its all-too-realistic violence.

      Village Voice

      What the film doesn’t do, much to its credit, is make the killers into charismatically “cool” villains, à la Wolf Creek‘s Mick Taylor.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      The film is a blunt, brutally effective survival tale distinguished by the parallel suspense tracks of its non-chronological structure.

      The A.V. Club

      Killing Ground comes down to what you want to experience in a horror movie. Granted, all this elaborately constructed savagery is upsetting, so the film succeeds on that level. But without suspense to propel it forward, and without a compelling backstory to deepen the intrigue, upset is all we’ve got.

      Movie Nation

      Lean and relentless, patient and pitiless, “Killing Ground” is the sort of thriller that gives horror movies a good name.
