Get ready for a thrilling cinematic experience that will leave you grinning ear to ear! The upcoming horror film, 'They Will Kill You,' is set to hit the big screens on March 27, 2026, and it promises to be a wild ride. But here's the twist: it's not your typical horror movie.
The Muschietti siblings, Andy and Barbara, renowned for their work on the chilling 'Mama' and the billion-dollar 'It' adaptations, have joined forces with Skydance to create a new horror label, Nocturna. And their inaugural project is this intriguing thriller.
The film stars the talented Zazie Beetz, known for her roles in 'Joker' and 'Deadpool 2,' as a woman who unknowingly steps into a chilling mystery. She responds to a help-wanted ad for a housekeeper in a New York City high-rise, only to find herself in a community plagued by disappearances and possibly under the influence of a Satanic cult. Talk about a nightmare scenario!
But here's where it gets controversial—the film is described as a tonal mix of 'Ready or Not' and 'The Raid,' blending horror, comedy, and action. This unique blend is what Barbara Muschietti believes will bring smiles to audiences, offering a refreshing take on the genre. And with a cast that includes Patricia Arquette, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Myha'la, it's set to be a star-studded affair.
The director, Kirill Sokolov, is known for his dark humor, having directed Russian productions like 'No Looking Back' and 'Why Don't You Just Die!' The screenplay is co-written by Sokolov and Alex Litvak, who has a reputation for writing action-packed scripts, including the 'Predators' sequel and 'The Three Musketeers.'
'They Will Kill You' is already generating buzz, with production wrapping up in South Africa and the film nearing completion. Barbara Muschietti's statement that it's 'something people will walk out of with a smile on their face' has us intrigued. Will this horror-comedy-action blend be the perfect escape we need in 2026? Only time will tell.
