Powered by a great action hero performance from Zazie Beetz, this spin on a familiar horror premise does just enough to keep things fresh.

Send confirmation emailEvery now and then, you come across a horror film that doesn’t waste time—it throws you straight into the action and keeps you hooked. They Will Kill You is exactly that kind of movie. From the very first minute, the pace is fast, the tension is high, and you’re pulled into a dark story of family conflict, cult rituals, and survival.
Story (1.5/2)
The premise is surprisingly fresh: an older sister tries to protect her sibling from their abusive father, only to end up in prison. Years later, she discovers her sister trapped in a bizarre hotel where residents worship the devil to gain immortality. It’s a chilling setup that feels original enough to stand out.
Plot (1.5/2)
While some twists are predictable, the plot is solid and keeps the suspense alive. The mix of family drama and occult horror works well, even if you can see certain outcomes coming.
Acting (0.5/2)
The performances are fine but nothing remarkable. The cast delivers the story without any standout moments that elevate the film.
Visual Effects (0.5/2)
This is where the film struggles most. The effects are weak and clearly limited by budget, which hurts the impact of the supernatural scenes.
Enjoyment (2/2)
Here’s the saving grace: the movie is genuinely fun to watch. The pacing is relentless, the tension never drops, and it keeps you engaged all the way through. It’s violent, bloody, and intense—definitely not for kids, but horror fans will appreciate the ride.
⭐ Overall Score: 6/10
They Will Kill You is far from perfect, but it’s a gripping, fast-paced horror experience. Despite weak effects and average acting, the story and suspense make it worth watching. Highly recommended if you’re into dark, violent horror that doesn’t let you breathe.
Despite having a plot that's similar to other recent films, They Will Kill You is still a good violent film with crazy action sequences and Beetz's performance
