If you haven't seen Ben Wheatley's film KILL LIST, and you like horror films, stop reading this and go watch it. It seems to start as a drama, or maybe a shaggy crime thriller. And patiently, masterfully, it ratchets up the intensity, until a climax that will leave you haunted for days after watching it.

"My Name Is Maximus Decimus Meridius..."

“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the armies of the north. General of the Felix legions, and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius.

Siempre me gustó el cine, antes miraba mucho terror (y lo sigo haciendo), pero después de que vi todas las películas del libro 1001 películas que hay que ver antes de morir, me convertí en un cinéfilo al 100%, abriéndome a todos los géneros cinematográficos. Miro muchas películas, ya sea en el cine o en mi casa. Soy coleccionista de películas originales en formato físico, tengo más de 1000.
