Locked In With A Killer
Everyone Is A Suspect
To Live Through The Night
They Broadcast For Help
They Must Broadcast

Kild TV is a Horror Thriller Movie by William Collins.

One night, the crew of a local TV broadcast station are doing their nightly Horror Movie show, "Dr. Perseco's Late Night Horror", hosted by Milton Web (D.C. Douglas). With him is the crew, consisting of Lucas the cameraman (Jared Doreck), Spencer in broadcasting (Brandon Hearnsberger), along with coordinators Geneva (Heather Williams) and Sidney (Aleeah Rogers), along with Michelle (Elizabeth Lestina) and new girl Adel (Astrea Campbell-Cobb). Everything seems to be going well, no major drawbacks have occurred.

Then Spencer doesn't cue up a clip, forcing everyone to adlib.

Then they find him stabbed to death with a screwdriver.

Soon everyone realizes there's a killer in the building with them, one who's been thorough in making sure they can't call for help by phone, or leave the building. So now everyone is on edge, trying to find the killer before they're all dead, and trying to get outside help through their broadcast.

The movie was released on March 19th, 2016.


Kild TV contains examplesof:

  • All Part of the Show: Despite the best efforts of the crew to tell their audience about their predicament, said audience remains convinced that it's all just a really elaborate stunt.
  • Bait-and-Switch: In the home of someone watching Dr. Perseco's Late Night Horror, the woman watching TV is jumped by someone who starts stabbing her with something. She throws him off, and we find out it was her husband playing a prank on her.
  • Blood from the Mouth: Found on plenty of murder victims, like Michelle and the policeman who came alone.
  • Boom, Headshot!: How Adel is killed in the film's climax.
  • Deliberately Monochrome: The intro to Dr. Perseco's Late Night Horror is shown in black and white (the rest of the show is in full colour, though).
  • Depraved Bisexual: Adel shares a kiss with Geneva at one point, and brags about it after being revealed to be the killer.
  • Eye Scream: When Milton is hosting the Dr. Perseco show, he brings out a skinless cow head and cuts one of the eyeballs. He then proceeds to remove both eyes from the skull to hold them up in front of his own.
  • Fake Brit: In-Universe example. Milton speaks with a fake British accent when he's playing Dr. Perseco.
  • Horror Host: Milton, who plays Dr. Perseco on the late night horror movie show named after his character.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Adel kills Lucas by stabbing him through the torso from behind with a boom mic.
  • Large Ham: Milton, who REALLY chews the scenery when he turns into Dr. Perseco.
  • Letting Her Hair Down: While Spencer is telling Michelle about what he does on his job, she walks over to a corner when he's not looking and undoes her hair bun, letting her hair loose. It's the first thing she does when she's preparing to do him.
  • The Place: The movie is named after the TV station.
  • Light-Flicker Teleportation: Ira disappears from where he was sitting when the lights flicker.
  • Police Are Useless: The local police refuse to send anyone to the studio on the grounds that it's just a publicity stunt that they're pulling. The Chief even interrupts the dispatcher to tell the one cop who's suspicious not to investigate, on the grounds he doesn't want some kind of "War of the Worlds" incident to occur. That one lone suspicious cop decides to investigate anyway... and gets killed by having his lower half crushed in between two vans.
  • Red Herring: Everyone assumes Ira, the janitor, is the killer because they haven't seen much of him that night. This leads to them tying him up in the news room. Their suspicion is wrong.
  • The Reveal: It's revealed late in the movie that Adel is the killer.
  • Shear Menace: Adel kills one of her victims with a pair of scissors.
  • Sinister Suffocation: The first victim of the movie is the studio receptionist, who gets strangled to death with some kind of strap.
  • Slashed Throat: The killer manages to kill Leland by slitting his throat when he shows up and tries to enter the studio.
  • Use Your Head: In a struggle with Adel, someone uses a headbutt.
