*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“This is a safe space…”

They Will Kill You is an action-horror comedy film that premiered on March 27th 2026. The film stars Zazie Beetz, Patricia Arquette, Heather Graham, and Tom Felton. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-five minutes.

An ex-con accepts a job as a housekeeper in a lavish NYC building, but soon discovers that the people residing there are trying to sacrifice her to their satanic cult.

Here is the trailer:

They Will Kill You delivers with fantastic fight scenes and a few welcomed twists to keep you entertained. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Sylish, well-choreographed fight scenes.

If you like films like, The Raid, Boy Kills World, and Bullet Train, then this is right up your alley. The fight scenes were fantastic and there were plenty of gruesome and bloody moments. The humor also worked well so that the material didn’t become too stale by the end.

Zazie Beetz is fantastic!!!

She dominated this film in the best way possible. This was clearly such a physical and powerful role and I thought she was believable and definitely one to root for. She was bad-ass and then some! Wow!

The other characters were fun to watch as well. I always love seeing Heather Graham show up in horror films.

The Cons:

No real plot…

Look, I knew this film was going to be about action and it delivered in that aspect. However, the majority of the film is filled with very loud music accompanied with fight scenes so if you’re expecting a well-layered plot, you won’t get that here.

There was a story-line at the back end of everything, but it wasn’t fleshed out enough. I still cared enough about the characters, but I could tell that wasn’t the goal of this movie.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!

They Will Kill You is mindless fun with a strong female lead to root for against all odds.

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
