“They Will Kill You” Poster
Director Kirill Sokolov, a Russian filmmaker best known for his hyper-violent, single-location debut thriller, Why Don’t You Just Die!, is back with They Will Kill You?
In the film, a woman (Zazie Beetz of Deadpool 2 and Joker) takes a job as a housekeeper in a NYC high-rise, unaware of the building’s history of disappearances. She soon realizes the community is shrouded in mystery.
Dare we say… They Will Kill You has some plot elements that echo not only Gareth Evans’ 2011 cult actioner The Raid, but also Chang Cheh’s 1981 Shaw Brothers thriller House of Traps, which was largely set within a fortified facility packed with layered, redundant death traps – designed to confound and kill even the most skilled martial artists.
The action for They Will Kill You is choreographed by Russ McCarroll, who is known for his work in films such as 2025’s The Rats: A Witcher Tale, The Warrior TV series (2019-2023), and 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road.
The film also stars Patricia Arquette (True Romance), Tom Felton (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), Heather Graham (Boogie Nights), Myha’la (Premature), Darron Meyer (SEAL Team 8: Behind Enemy Lines), Armando Rivera (Any Day Now), Chris van Rensburg (The Fix) and Gabe Gabriel (My Spy: The Eternal City).
They Will Kill You hits theaters on March 27th. Watch the Trailer below:
I see your comparison to The Raid and House of Traps, and raise you The Doorman. 🙂
Let’s up the ante with EVERLY!
Come on, dude! This looks like what The Doorman should have been!
I am liking the Neveldine and Taylor vibes here, and after Zazie Beetz did a great job playing Domino, it’s about time that she got more action roles!
So a total of two people have watched The Doorman? lol
Well, three. ☝️
Comments on the original review also indicate there’s a 4th person who’s seen it. At this point I’m surprised we didn’t get a sequel. 🙂
20-40 bucks there. Just lying on the table. 🤦♂️
