Storyline
A desperate woman answers a cryptic ad for a live-in housekeeper at a luxurious yet foreboding New York City high-rise. Upon arrival, she uncovers the building's sinister history: residents have vanished without trace for decades, fueling whispers of a Satanic cult lurking in the shadows. As she navigates the eccentric, secretive community, paranoia mounts--doors creak at night, symbols appear in the walls, and her new "family" hides deadly secrets. What starts as a gig from hell spirals into a fight for survival against ritualistic horrors and twisted loyalties. — Warner Bros Ten years earlier, a bullet through the chest separated tight-knit sisters Asia and Maria Reaves. But the days in jail fly by when all you have is undying revenge to keep you going. Now, a pitiless avenger has set foot in The Virgil, an impregnable New York City den of Satanists, and forgiveness is not her style. All she wants is to have her family back. However, the intruder is way out of her league; inside the nine-story neo-Gothic building, an army of Hell's disciples would rather die again and again than fail their master. And before tonight's black mass, they will kill her. When so much more is at stake than just losing your life, what is the point in fighting a losing battle? — Nick Riganas
Movie Review
They Will Kill You
This cartoonish and hyper-violent action-horror tale starts strong before spinning its wheels and revealing no substance beneath the style.
They Will Kill You (2026) follows ex-con Asia Reaves (Zazie Beetz), who infiltrates the Virgil—a luxurious yet sinister NYC high-rise—as a housekeeper to find her missing sister Maria (Myha'la).
Russian director Kirill Sokolov helms this 94-minute R-rated horror-action-comedy with Paterson Joseph; it blends ritual gore, dark humor, and survival thrills after SXSW 2026 buzz.
New Line Cinema opens it wide in U.S. theaters March 27; trailers showcase machete fights, cult chaos, and Beetz's fierce takedowns.
