The SXSW film festival concluded with the premiere of "They Will Kill You," a bloody action thriller focused on sisterhood battling a satanic cult. Directed by Kirill Sokolov, the film centers on Asia Reaves, who takes a job in a historic New York City apartment building to find her estranged sister, Maria. Asia soon learns the building's elite tenants are part of a cult with sinister plans.
The cult intends to sacrifice Asia to Satan to achieve immortality. However, Asia arrives prepared, armed with weapons and a fierce determination to protect Maria. The movie features an ensemble cast, including Zazie Beetz as Asia and Myha'la as Maria, alongside Patricia Arquette, Tom Felton, and Heather Graham.
"They Will Kill You" combines intense action sequences, inspired by samurai and shoot-em-up genres, with graphic gore. Beyond the visceral thrills, the film explores the emotional journey of the estranged sisters as they reconnect. Ultimately, the narrative suggests that love, rather than blood, makes the most powerful sacrifice, positioning the protagonists as new 'Scream Queens' fighting against the one percent.
