Synopsis

A taut, gripping thriller set deep in an isolated forest in Spain, where a man and a woman find themselves under fire from a hidden sniper. Everything they do to get out of the situation leads them deeper into danger, and they find themselves running for their lives from an utterly invisible, unidentifiable threat.

While undoubtedly a horror film, KING OF THE HILL avoids the extremes of gore and torture to focus on intense suspense. You won't be able to look away for a second.
