What if *Ready or Not* took on the essence of a grindhouse film? Filmmaker siblings Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti, acclaimed for *It: Chapter 1 & 2* and *Welcome to Derry*, offer a sneak peek into such a project with the trailer for *They Will Kill You*.
The Muschiettis serve as producers for this action-horror-comedy, helmed by Kirill Sokolov (*No Looking Back*) and penned by Sokolov and Alex Litvak (*Predators*). *They Will Kill You* stars Zazie Beetz (*Deadpool 2, Joker*) as a young woman who comes to a high-rise apartment building known as The Virgil in search of a job. Unbeknownst to her, she has been selected as the next human sacrifice by a malevolent cult.
Joining the cast are Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette, with various actors taking on the roles of adversaries attempting to thwart Beetz’s character. Nonetheless, this sacrifice will not occur without a struggle.
Although the storyline mirrors *Ready or Not*—an unsuspecting, lower-income girl lured into a lethal game within an opulent environment—*They Will Kill You* delivers a distinctive style, evident even in the trailer. It boasts vibrant hues, eccentric uniforms, and a mix of gory and outrageous violence, capturing the flashy absurdity typical of grindhouse horror. If you’re excited to see Beetz in action, make a note of the date.
*They Will Kill You* debuts exclusively in theaters on March 27.
