They Will Kill You (2026): Splatstick Mayhem at the Virgil Hotel
2026 • Kirill Sokolov • 2.20:1 • Jump to Gallery ↓
In They Will Kill You, directed by Kirill Sokolov, a woman accepts a job as a housekeeper in an exclusive New York hotel. She soon discovers that the building is linked to a series of unexplained disappearances. As she uncovers the true nature of its wealthy residents, she realises she has become trapped in a deadly conspiracy centred on a demonic cult and must survive the night against overwhelming odds.
Blending the high-octane action of The Raid with the satirical cult-slashing mayhem of Ready or Not, this blood-soaked action-horror comedy follows the logic of a survival video game. It moves from one setting to the next, delivering a different type of kinetic action piece in each new environment. Balancing visceral gore with slapstick physical comedy, it moves from colour-saturated suites to darker shafts and hidden passageways.
Over-the-top in a cartoonish way with a focus on physical stunts and practical effects, They Will Kill You is a fun, totally wild mid-budget genre film dripping with high energy.
