KTF is a term in science fiction fandom for a scathing review. Dave Langford defines it as,
a legendary style of strongly negative fanzine reviewing supposed to have flourished in Britain early in the 80s. It's not a very helpful critical term, having grown over the years into a too-diffuse phrase of condemnation covering a wide range of material from the merely abusive and inept (relatively rare) all the way across to balanced commentary which expresses negative views even in passing.[1]
Still in use as of March 2012: see Priest’s KTF Review of Clarke Shortlist[2] at File 770.
