Synopsis

THEY WILL KILL YOU unleashes a blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy in which a young woman must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering in a uniquely brazen, big screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humor.

Moviegoers are saying
This action-packed cult thriller divides audiences with its unapologetically derivative approach - while some dismiss it as 'reheated nachos' borrowing heavily from Kill Bill and Ready or Not, others embrace its campy, gore-soaked absurdity. Despite lukewarm ratings averaging 3.5/10, viewers consistently praise the relentless action sequences and Zazie Beetz's commanding performance, even as they criticize the unoriginal demonic cult plot.

It’s just that the delivery system designed to get you from one showstopping mano a mano to the next begins to feel so derivative that not even the pulp pleasures of Beetz kicking mondo ass can keep this from feeling like a reheated fast-food binge.

After so many smirky bloodfests, They Will Kill You scarcely needs believable human relationships to earn some goodwill. All it really needs is Beetz convincingly going through hell.

Its lack of visual cohesion and bizarre finale get in the way of enjoying the whirlwind of fists, bullets, fantastical fights, and a sword with katana-like powers of cutting bodies in half. No one can accuse this film of becoming boring, but its over-stuffed narrative never quite delivers on its promising start.
