“THEY WILL KILL YOU” features “Zazie Beetz running with real fire and just whooping people” in one fight scene, says the director of the horror/action/comedy, now showing only in cinemas

“‘They Will Kill You’ is an action movie that is also a horror movie that has a bit of a comedy in it.”

Says director Kirill Sokolov about his latest movie, which he also wrote. “It has a lot of stunts, a lot of action,” he continues. “In every scene, something is happening. Our first goal was to do as much as possible practically. Zazie [Beetz] and our cast wanted to be involved as much as possible, so they trained and they did a lot.”

Zazie Beetz, who plays the film’s main character, Asia, trained for four months prior to the start of principal photography, including three weeks in Cape Town. In the blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy, Beetz plays a young woman who 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 film also stars Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette.

Director Kirill Sokolov had a blast working on his new movie “They Will Kill You.” The horror-action-comedy, which he wrote and directed, is produced by Andy Muschietti, acclaimed director of horror hits including “It,” “It Chapter Two” and “Mama,” and features an ensemble cast that includes Zazie Beetz (“Invincible”), Tom Felton, Heather Graham and Patricia Arquette. 

“There was a real situation that inspired me for this script,” says Sokolov in a new featurette for the movie. Ten years ago, he and wife rented an apartment in a building where everyone seemingly knew each other. The situation kicked his imagination into overdrive. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they came and take us and sacrifice us and maybe that’s how will they prolong their lives. After that, we just fast-forward to this movie.”
