This is such a good film. James and Caroline made such a superb suspenseful thriller that takes place in the British film industry and takes Harvey Weinstein's audition process to a whole new level. The acting was really good and well conveyed throughout the entire thing. Probably the only let down was perhaps the soundtrack. Might have been a little over the top at times. The camerawork is really good and got Hitchcock vibes to it. Take the time and watch this original horror flick and I mean horror lightly as there's no jump scares or actual horrific moments. Minor gore and blood to don't worry!
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.

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.
Casting Kill. Which was shot super- quickly, with a small crew, and on a very limited budget, is a very stylish suspense thriller set in the underbelly of Hollywood filmmaking Nothing is ever quite as it seems and, indeed, Casting Kill has more twists and turns than a corkscrew. The whirlwind indie writer/ director team of Carline Spence and James Smith have been building a well=deserved reputation of late, and they are sure to have another micro - budget hit on their hands with CASTING KILL, a tense and stylish horror/ thriller hybrid with plenty of short, sharp shocks. Like a kick in the eye from a stiletto heel.
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.
