Unexpected twists in this very enjoyable and well executed film by Raya Films. At the start of the film you really have no idea where it will eventually lead. An actors worst nightmare led by Rob Laird in a chillingly cool, skin crawling manner. Great cast ( really enjoyed Jack Forsyth Noble as Dominic as he manages to get under the skin of this supposed Hollywood Director). A terrific score by Shaun Finnegan which enhances the mood dramatically. It's a well written script by Caroline Spence, interspersing humour whilst maintaining an air of suspense with atmospheric cinematography by James Smith.
An expertly written and tightly woven thriller. An amazing music score drives this film through a series of tense and chilling encounters. There is a traditional feel to this movie where the emphasis in on the story telling rather than cgi distractions. No half hearted mumbling here ....the performances are delivered with conviction and clarity. In classic hitchcock style there are some truly memorable jaw dropping moments of horror. There are some twists and turns at the end which will satisfy fans of the psychological thriller genre. Let's hope this is the big one for Raya films as they go from strength to strength.
A well scripted, performed, filmed & scored horror film that reflects the movie industry tropes with aplomb and dark humor. The journey of auditioning actors and their archnemesis in the guise of a casting director, moves you through the day in the life with the added twist of horror (no spoilers!). The story is told with an ode to Hitchcock flare and a fun, popcorn worthy viewers experience. The musical score perfectly reflects the genre, though at times, seems to overshadow the scenes - but we get it! You think you know which characters you're rooting for, but you don't. So, enjoy the plot twists and the shocking, delightful journey, where you come to feel for everyone in it - in this industry.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU SEE THIS FILM!!

I have seen this twice now. Dark horror comedy at its best. Well shot great actors and great script.
The writers and Directors of this film are at the top of their game, as are the actors. Think twice before you go to an audition.
A dubious casting director lures unsuspecting actors to audition for a big part in a top film. Set in Londonin a basement flat, it is atmospheric and creepy, yet laughs are to be had at just the right moments. British Independent filming at its best, you could be forgiven into thinking it had a sizeable budget. Well worth a watch.
Gives a new meaning to The Casting Couch.

First time I saw this film was on dvd, second time seen at The Lavenham Film Festival, Suffolk, where it won three awards at the Gala Awards night, which was very well deserved. Enjoyable film from the start to the end, with plenty of laughs throughout. Great casting, all characters were convincing and natural
Would happily watch again
Great cast,, each character drew you in.
Brilliant Director and Writer, who have recently won awards for their newest fillm, Best Geezer, which is heading off to Hollywood to be screened. Really nice couple who I wish well with their current and future ventures. Casting Kill, please give it a watch and review.
