They Will Kill You

2026 ·1h 34m · ★ 6.6 (103)

A woman answers a help wanted ad to be a housekeeper in a mysterious high-rise in New York City, not realizing she is entering a community that has seen a number of disappearances over the years and may be under the grip of a Satanic cult.

Why it matters

A wild, genre-blending descent into urban Satanism that’s as chaotic as it is bloody, with a surprise twist that splits the room.

  • Delivers a volatile mash-up of slasher energy and dark comedy, recalling Ready or Not’s lethal game but with Looney Tunes-style cartoon violence.
  • Zazie Beetz anchors the chaos with a grounded performance amid the blood-soaked mayhem.
  • Practical effects and inventive kill set-pieces keep the carnage tactile and visceral, even when the plot feels scattered.
  • Perfect for viewers who like their horror messy, unpredictable, and unafraid to lean into absurdity—expect uneven pacing but never dull moments.
