Synopsis
Kill Your Friends (2015) is a British black-comedy thriller directed by Owen Harris — watch online on iFILM. London, late 1990s, peak Britpop. Steven Stelfox works as an A&R man at a major record label, and when the hits stop coming, he decides the fastest career move is eliminating the people above him.
Nicholas Hoult plays Stelfox with a flat, unsettling calm — no redemption arc, no guilty conscience, just calculation. Soho clubs, producer meetings, mountains of cocaine: the film runs through the era's music industry with acid accuracy. Craig Roberts, James Corden, Ed Skrein and Moritz Bleibtreu fill out a cast where genuinely no one is worth rooting for.
The screenplay adapts John Niven's novel — Niven spent years in A&R himself, and it shows. The tagline says it plainly: "Lies. Betrayal. Murder. Just another day in the music industry." Dark, funny and not particularly interested in your comfort. Stream Kill Your Friends (2015) online on iFILM.
