You have a choice right now. A trailer has dropped for They Will Kill You, which looks like a total blast – a chaotic, kinetic, splatty action horror-comedy, pitched somewhere between House Of The Devil, Ready Or Not, and You’re Next. It has Zazie Beetz, fighting for her life in a Satanic hotel where she’s being offered up as a ritual sacrifice, turning the tables on her captors with red-splattered results. It’s a very fun trailer. And yet, it does seem to show quite a lot. So, the choice is this: listen to the angel on your shoulder, take our word for it that They Will Kill You looks like tons of fun, and stick it on your to-watch list for 2026. Or, give in to the devil on your should and watch the trailer for yourself here:
Like we said: looks like a blast – slicing, dicing, kiss-off lines aplenty, gore galore. And Beetz looks brilliantly cast as the hard-as-nails hero, swinging flaming axes, lopping limbs, and punching people square in the face. The film comes from Russian director Kirill Sokolov, who previously gave us the raucous Why Don’t You Just Die!, and who has written the screenplay here alongside Alex Litvak. There’s a top cast too: Patricia Arquette, Myha’la, Heather Graham, and Tom Felton are all involved in the mayhem.
It’s a promising first look, a nice tee-up for an original film to be excited about in 2026. We’ll see if They Will Kill You lives up to that trailer when it hits UK cinemas on 27 March.
