Reviews:
“The movie is very well done, with everyone turning in a great acting performance. Dr. Perseco played by actor D.C. Douglas was especially good […] The effects are also pretty good in this film, with some great gore including a nasty head bashed in with a computer screen!” Hayes Hudson’s House of Horror
“The setting and the story/character quirks it allows for help distinguish KILD TV, which in other ways hits the expected stalker-saga beats. For the most part, it’s not hard to figure out who’s going to die next, though the gore FX are intense enough that fans of the form will likely be satisfied.” Ken Michaels, Fangoria
“KILD TV taps into this world of cable horror double features and delivers a fun mystery filled with blood, guts, and boobs. KILD TV is a fun B-Movie throwback with a Tim Burton-esque feel.” Jonathan Correia, iHorror.com
“Douglas reels in the MVP performance here, playing the ultra-hammish Dr. Perseco, and the gore that’s on display in this little prize should be more than enough to keep the dogs fed for a little bit.” Matt Boiselle, Dread Central
“The filmmakers needed to make bolder choices and go the way of horror/comedy or flat-out horror — one or the other. Hanging around somewhere in the middle does the film (as well as the audience) no favors.” Michael Klug, Horrorfreak News
” …it has it’s flaws and holes like any other — but personally I found it a great time in front of the ol’ screen, checking off all the boxes of the subgenre but nonetheless enjoying the characters and the situations; bloody, campy, and fun.” Andrew Thompson, Legless Corpse
