HE CREATED THE PERFECT KILLING MACHINE - NOW IT IS GOING TO KILL HIM!
The savagery of "The Deer Hunter", the brutality of "First Blood" and the unbridled power of "Rambo" come together to create the most intense film yet about the effects of the Vietnam War - KILL ZONE.
Colonel Crawford (David Campbell, Killer Workout), the sadistic commander of an advanced military training center known as "Scare Camp", has created the most grueling and realistic exercise imaginable; to him it is brilliant, to his men... deadly. To Vietnam War veteran Jason McKenna (Fritz Matthews, Deadly Prey) it becomes all too real. His ability to distinguish between flashbacks and the ongoing exercise slowly fades. Driven by emotional terror McKenna believes he must kill to survive. He escapes the simulated prison camp and begins his reign of terror; killing the unsuspecting residents of a nearby town. Now it is up to Colonel Crawford to stop him in this action-packed adventure from director David A. Prior (Deadly Prey) and producer Jack Marino (Forgotten Heroes).

Press Quotes
Its literal over-the-top insanity, which although not realized in the film, would soon be fulfilled by subsequent AIP productions... It's hard to f*ck with the cover art from this home video release.
—The Betamax Rundown
Most definitely a dry run for the wonderful Deadly Prey... Killzone has a more professional look than some of the later AIP output... this is a really great effort... check out that great cover art for the VHS release. How could you not want to rent that?
—Ty and Brett, Comeuppance Reviews
David A. Prior is one of those people who filled up video shelves for us back in the days of Blockbuster.
