F’nAround Review: They Will Kill You (2026)
Some horror movies slowly build suspense.
They Will Kill You throws you into the fire almost immediately and barely lets you catch your breath.
Directed by Kirill Sokolov and co-written by Sokolov and Alex Litvak, this horror-action-comedy follows Asia Reaves (Zazie Beetz), an ex-con who takes what seems like an ordinary housekeeping job at a mysterious New York high-rise known as The Virgil. It doesn’t take long before she discovers the building hides a satanic cult and escaping may be impossible.

F’nAround Thoughts
This movie never really slows down.
From the moment Asia realizes what kind of building she’s entered, it’s one intense sequence after another. The action is relentless, the gore is unapologetic, and the film embraces its over-the-top premise without ever apologizing for it.
The fight choreography is creative, the practical effects are memorable, and the story keeps introducing new twists that make you rethink where it’s headed. Just when you think you’ve figured out the rules, the movie changes them.
Zazie Beetz absolutely carries the film. She delivers an action-heavy performance while still making Asia feel like someone you’re rooting for instead of an invincible action hero.
The supporting cast also shines. Patricia Arquette brings an unsettling presence, Tom Felton is a fun addition, and the ensemble helps create a world that feels bizarre, dangerous, and strangely believable despite its supernatural premise.
And then there’s the ending.
Without giving anything away, it’s the kind of finale that rewards sticking with the movie. It’s explosive, unexpected, and ties together the chaos in a satisfying way while leaving you thinking about everything that came before.
Final Verdict
If you enjoy movies like Ready or Not, Evil Dead, The Raid, or horror films that mix brutal action with dark humor, They Will Kill You deserves a spot on your watch list.
It’s stylish, bloody, funny in all the right places, and delivers nearly nonstop entertainment from beginning to end. It may not reinvent the horror genre, but it knows exactly what kind of ride it wants to be and commits to it completely.
F’nAround Rating
Fast-paced. Twisted. Bloody. Entertaining.
Sometimes the best horror movies don’t make you choose between laughing, cheering, and cringing.
They Will Kill You lets you do all three.
