The Dumbwaiter, reimagined by Dennis Wheatley
22 April 2018
I don't get why so many here are accusing this film of 'ripping off' Kill List. It's obviously and occult version of Harold Pinter's play The Dumbwaiter... given an occult twist. One of the characters is even named 'Pinner' as a nod to its inspiration. In truth, the earlier parts of the movie, that more closely resemble that play, are a lot creepier than the later, bloodier, bits. Still, it's a good show and kept me entertained all the way through. It is very minimal... just a few (good) actors and a couple of filming locations... but what need would it have for more? As it is it makes perfect sense without a bunch of unnecessary bloat to dilute its story.

I'd be quite interested to see what it's creators make next.
