What a dumb movie. Never seen movie so dumb and idiotic. Plus it's racist. Literally every white person in movie is bad and only good guys are main character who is black and another black character. Trash, dumb and racist movie.

I'm not sure what exactly it is I just watched. I AM sure that if I had ingested some adult substances, it would have made more sense and I probably would have enjoyed it more.

This was completely bonkers, in both the best and worst ways. Imagine a wild mash-up of Ready or Not, Kill Bill, and Looney Tunes, with flashes of countless other films thrown into the mix. It’s chaotic, and doesn’t always land, but it’s never dull. The trailer does a great job of hiding a key element that I genuinely didn’t see coming.

THEY WILL KILL YOU is a wildly entertaining action horror comedy with an excellent ensemble cast. Great performances from Zazie Beetz, Patricia Arquette, and Heather Graham. Bloody and over the top in the best way. Highly enjoyable! #filmsky #horrorsky

I just finally watched THEY WILL KILL YOU and enjoyed it a heck of a lot. It's a delightfully violent "B" movie with a lot of very fake-looking blood, and a silly premise. The entire cast brings it, including Patricia Arquette. But Zazie Beetz's heartfelt, incandescent performance anchors the film.
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 194 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post).

60 of 251 · most liked firstJess and I did a double feature of READY OR NOT HERE I COME and THEY WILL KILL YOU. Reader, they are functionally the same exact movie. But they are different enough where it counts to make an AWESOME double feature. If killing satanists who want to kill you and your sister before dawn is your jam:
positive · AI labelView post →‘THEY WILL KILL YOU’ debuted with 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. • Described as a "adrenaline-pumping thrill ride" and 2026's "best action movie discovery thus far" • Starring Zazie Beetz as a woman who must survive in a mysterious New York high-rise run by a Satanic cult of wealthy residents
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched They Will Kill You last night and it is a delightfully over the top horror action/comedy about a young woman trying to save her sister from a cult. It's also nice, and sadly rare, to see a woman of color be the lead in a movie like this.

The writer/director says he likes Hong Kong and Japanese cinema, which probably explains it! Wrote brief words on Letterboxd.
