Produced by Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti, They Will Kill You has already garnered attention after its screening at SXSW 2026. The film’s unique blend of genres is expected to resonate with audiences looking for an engaging cinematic experience.
Notable for its practical effects, the film includes blood rigs and lychee-filled eyeballs, enhancing its horror elements. The screenplay, co-written by Kirill Sokolov and Alex Litvak, has been praised for its creativity and engaging storytelling.
In a recent statement, Zazie Beetz remarked on the empowering nature of her role, saying, “Yeah, it was empowering. Because I think to play badass, I suppose you have to also bring in that energy.” Meanwhile, Barbara Muschietti emphasized the communal joy of watching the film in theaters, stating, “The joy you’re going to feel at the theater seeing this with other minds alike. It’s not comparable to what you’re going to experience sitting at home folding your underwear.”
Andy Muschietti urged audiences to experience the film in theaters, declaring, “Don’t debate anymore. It’s so fun. You have to see it in the theater. You have to. If you don’t… Then there’s something wrong with you.”
As the release date approaches, excitement continues to build around They Will Kill You. However, details remain unconfirmed regarding additional promotional events or screenings leading up to the premiere.
