They arrive at an isolated campsite to find an SUV and a tent – no sign of the occupants. As night falls and the campers fail to return, Ian and Sam grow increasingly uneasy. The discovery of a distressed child wandering in the woods unleashes a terrifying chain of events that test the young couple to breaking point. ©Hypergiant Films Pty ltd, Killing Ground 2017 KILLING GROUND writer/director’s statement KILLING GROUND is a lean, unorthodox genre film inspired by the classic character-driven survival thrillers of the 70s. It all began with the image of a deserted tent, which appeared to me so powerfully that it demanded a story. Thinking about what might have happened to the tent’s missing occupants reminded me of the scary stories we tell around a campfire.
