Synopsis:

School's out, and Dani (Heartland's Alisha Newton) and her friends - freshly graduated from Holden High - are about to have one hell of a Summer...

​

But just as the party's getting started, a Senior's body is found dismembered on the high-school football field. And the murder is sickly creative, designed to cause a splash and go viral: with a red envelope pinned to the corpse, containing a smiling yearbook photo of a classmate and the grisly commant to: 'kill or be killed'. It's a real buzzkill.

​

Soon, one student's body becomes two, and the local sheriff's department realise there's an unhinged serial killer, with some seriously questionable values and a taste for the theatrical, out to teach Holden's teens a few life (and death) lessons they'll never forget...

​

The small town doesn't waste any time panicking: everyone suspects everyone else, red letters start to appear everywhere, and as the teens continue to party like it's their last night on earth (which it might well be), the body count rapidly rises.

​

Pretty quickly, Dani and her friends realise they're going to have to make some hard choices, and fast, as all bets are off in a blood-spattered, devilishly imaginative town-wise game - orchestrated by the masked killer - of Kill or Be Killed.

​

From the mischievous mind of Nick Zigler (Chucky, The Purge franchises), Kill or Be Killed is a euphoric, knowing and gloriously bloody throwback to the horror movies of the 1990s, an ingenious update on the high-school 'summer slasher' for Gen Z audiences.
