US EditionReview | They Will Kill You: Zazie Beetz Leads a Delicious Slice of Midnight Madness
- Zazie Beetz stars in They Will Kill You, arriving in cinemas this Friday, March 27. The 94-minute horror-comedy follows an ex-con hacking through an elite Manhattan hotel to rescue her sister.
- Asia Reaves infiltrates The Virgil, a Manhattan luxury residence, to find her sister, Marie. Ten years earlier, Asia shot their abusive father in self-defense and fled, eventually serving prison time.
- Inside the building, Asia discovers a satanic cabal led by Lily, played by Patricia Arquette, alongside Heather Graham and Tom Felton. The villains cannot die, forcing Asia into repeated cycles of combat.
- Describing the film as an "eat the rich" offering, the plot pits Asia against villains who cannot die. These antagonists claim, "If you get to know us, we're really nice people," masking their true nature.
- Comparisons to The Raid arise from the methodical, floor-by-floor combat structure. While the villains' immortality creates novelty, repetitive action cycles eventually undermine the film's pacing and momentum.
