The Playlist by Gary Garrison

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.

CineVue by Jamie Neish

Killing Ground isn't terrible. Far from it, in fact. It uses the non-linear narrative structure well to toy with the audience and create a sense of mystery around the duel arcs of the characters involved.

The A.V. Club by Katie Rife

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.

70

Village Voice by Luke Y. Thompson

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.

63

Movie Nation by Roger Moore

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