★★★★☆ In very much the same vein as Ben Wheatley's Kill List (2011), writer/director Sean Hogan's The Devil's Business (2011) will scare you by inference as much as by what you actually see. Hitman Pinner (Billy Clarke) and his new sidekick Cully (Jack Gordon) are sent by gangland boss Bruno (Harry Miller) to finish some business with his old associate Kist (Jonathan Hansler).

Metrodome has announced an August 17 cinema release for horror film The Devil's Business.
Here's the official description:
Two hit men are sent to murder an old associate of their underworld boss.
But things are not all what they seem in their quarry's house and the discovery of a makeshift black magic altar - and its shocking sacrifice - sends the uncomprehending duo into the shadowy darkness of their own tortured souls and terrifying confrontations with their worst primal fears.
Brilliantly acted, solidly crafted and exuding a palpable atmosphere of claustrophobic dread, this eerily effective gem announces the arrival of director Sean Hogan on the genre's frontline.
The Devil's Business stars Billy Clarke, Jack Gordon, Jonathan Hansler and Harry Miller and is rated 15. Following its theatrical release, the film is scheduled to hit stores on DVD on September 10.
