The Devil's Business

 Two hitmen eventually run into some trouble when their target seems to have struck a deal with the Devil. Eventually; First, they wait around. A lot.

 It's not quite as bad as it sounds, as the killers aren't terrible company. Mr. Pinner (Billy Clarke) is the old pro, constantly exasperated by his feckless, deeply unprofessional rookie helper Scully (Jack Gordon). It's an overused character dynamic, the acting isn't that great (Clarke's exasperation has a slight case of deer-caught-in-the-headlights overacting), and the dialog provided by director Sean Hogan's script is pretty stilted. But... I still found it all entertaining enough, mostly thanks to a faint undercurrent of wry humour that runsjust beneath the surface.

 Scully whines incessantly, Mr. Pinner tells a rambling ghost story, and in between their chats the duo provide a little background on their mission and discover a couple of occult-looking tableaux around the house. One of them involves a dead baby, which understandably leaves them both rattled.
Then their target (Jonathan Hansler) arrives, and things really go to hell.

 It's a slightly amateurish, deeply OK slow burn of a film. The script is cleverly built around its budget limitations, a short runtime prevents it from overstaying its welcome, and it benefits from a decent soundtrack and a couple of post-rock tracks from Justin Greaves of the band Crippled Black Phoenix. It also, bless, does try to go over the top at the end with a supernatural attack, although the results are closer to ridiculous than upsetting.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, not when similar, much better films like Kill List and The World We Knew already exist, but it's not a complete disappointment either.
