News They Will Kill You Zazie Beetz Absolutely Refuses to Get Murdered —or Wear Pants— in the Trailer for They Will Kill You It’s not a game, it’s not a secret society, but it’s kind of both of those things? By Molly Templeton | Published on January 5, 2026 Screenshot: Warner Bros. Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Warner Bros. If you have liked any moderately recent horror and/or violent and/or weird movies—from Ready or Not to that Crispin Glover movie in which he’s stuck in a hotel to The Menu—there may be something for you to enjoy in They Will Kill You, a movie in which an ex-con gets a new job at a building full of rich people, only to find that they all want to murder her. However, these rich Satan-worshippers really seem to have chosen their mark quite poorly. It is not the most original of premises—it really does feel as if the creators have selected highlights from the last six or seven years of related films—but They Will Kill You stars Zazie Beetz, who seems entirely up to the task of sprinting through a plush high-rise, throwing axes, and occasionally missing with a tossed knife. There are some narrow crawlspaces, of course, and I am pleased to report that she does not seem to have to fight all her battles without pants. Just some of them. Beetz is joined by a promising lineup of co-stars that includes Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette at her imperious best. New Line Cinema and Nocturna are slightly hyperbolic in their synopsis: “The film unleashes a blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy in which a young woman must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering in a uniquely brazen, big-screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humor.” The trailer below is the safe-for-all version; there’s a red-band version here that has more swears and body-part slicing. They Will Kill You is directed by Kirill Sokolov, whose previous films include the charmingly titled Why Don’t You Just Die! (The exclamation point is part of the title, not an editorial comment.) It’s written by Sokolov and Alex Litvak (2011’s The Three Musketeers), and has among its producers the It team of Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti. Enter the Virgil on March 27th.[end-mark] The post Zazie Beetz Absolutely Refuses to Get Murdered —or Wear Pants— in the Trailer for <i>They Will Kill You</i> appeared first on Reactor.
