Article Summary

  • Warner Bros. unveils the first trailer for new horror-action-comedy They Will Kill You, releasing March 27.
  • The film draws comparisons to Ready or Not with its satirical take on class and over-the-top violence and humor.
  • Trailer gives a generous look at the movie's plot; viewers wary of spoilers may want to watch just a snippet.
  • Directed by Kirill Sokolov, They Will Kill You promises cult chaos and high-octane thrills in theaters this Spring.

Me thinks people are a bit into the idea of the rich and powerful sacrificing the poor and working class to demons or satan or whatever in exchange for said riches and power. It's almost like it's a metaphor for the current class dynamics we're all under or something. Anyway! Today, the first trailer for They Will Kill You has dropped, and it looks pretty promising. The obvious one to one comparison people are going to make is Ready or Not, but this one looks a little funnier and the action appears to be more over the top.

This first trailer does appear to show quite a lot of the movie, though, so if the first 30 seconds or so piques your interest, maybe stop the video and back out. We're doing this marketing again, though it did seem to work out for Warner Bros. in 2025 more than it didn't, so we'll have to see if showing this much footage hurts They Will Kill You or if there is some twist lurking under the surface.
