WATCH: Director Kirill Sokolov shares the inspiration for They Will Kill You
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.”
In the blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy, a young woman (Beetz) 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.
“What I really liked about the script is the very clear fun Kirill was having with this genre and with the story,” says Beetz in the featurette.
Adds Tom Felton (“Harry Potter” film series, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), “This script is so unique. There are so many elements of it that are not on anything that I’ve ever read before. ‘They Will Kill You’ has so many aspects to it – from family bonding, to Satanic cults.”
Teases Beetz, “Get ready. It’s about to get bloody.”
Everyone is invited to visit The Virgil when “They Will Kill You” opens only in cinemas March 25, 2026.
