Mean as a snake storytelling hides Killing Ground's small but nagging flaws.

It's vile stuff, and "Killing Ground" would much more compelling if there was a scene contained within it that wasn't featured in dozens of similar endeavors.

Familiarity isn't a stumbling block for Power. He has a good eye for breathtaking shots in the most literal way possible, blocking scenes to maximize their chance of snatching the air right out of your lungs.

Your potential enjoyment of-or repulsion for-Killing Ground comes down to what you want to experience in a horror movie.

Continuing the tradition of brutal Australian horror films like "Wolf Creek," "Killing Ground" is an effective indie creeper that unnerves the audience with its all-too-realistic violence.
