We've been talking up this month for its plethora of fascinating releases at the box office for a while now. Unfortunately, aside from Civil War, nothing really seems to be hitting, which is a shame because most of these projects are decent to very good. The month isn't over; maybe the last couple will do better. One of those movies coming out this week, along with Challengers, is Boy Kills World. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and, thankfully, wasn't one of those festival films with a ton of buzz that just vanishes and never gets any sort of release. Roadside Attractions and Lionsgate have given this one a decent marketing push and dropped a new clip at IGN. We get to see some brutal hand-to-hand combat between Boy and a woman with a very fancy helmet.
Boy Kills World: Summary, Cast List, Release Date
Skarsgård stars as "Boy" who vows revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Janssen), the deranged matriarch of a corrupt post-apocalyptic dynasty that left the boy orphaned, deaf, and voiceless. Driven by his inner voice, one which he co-opted from his favorite childhood video game, Boy trains with a mysterious shaman (Ruhian) to become an instrument of death and is set loose on the eve of the annual culling of dissidents. Bedlam ensues as Boy commits bloody martial arts mayhem, inciting a wrath of carnage and blood-letting. As he tries to get his bearings in this delirious realm, Boy soon falls in with a desperate resistance group, all the while bickering with the apparent ghost of his rebellious little sister.
Boy Kill World, directed by Moritz Mohr, stars Bill Skarsgård, Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Brett Gelman, Isaiah Mustafa, Yayan Ruhian, with Andrew Koji, Sharlto Copley, and Famke Janssen. Voice of "Boy" Narrated by H. Jon Benjamin. It will be released on April 26, 2024.
