They Will Kill You Trailer Unleashes a Wild Horror-Action Ride Heading to Theaters in 2026

New Line Cinema is dialing the chaos all the way up.

The official trailer for They Will Kill You has arrived, teasing a blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy that blends cult terror, savage kills, and jet-black humor into one relentless night of survival. From the twisted imagination of Kirill Sokolov, the film promises an unapologetically brutal crowd-pleaser that knows exactly how far to push the madness.

The movie opens in theaters March 27, 2026 in North America, with international releases beginning March 25, 2026, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

What Is They Will Kill You About?

At its core, They Will Kill You is a survival nightmare wrapped in dark comedy.

The story follows a desperate young woman who answers a cryptic job ad for a live-in housekeeper at an upscale New York City high-rise known as The Virgil. What initially appears to be a strange but lucrative opportunity quickly turns into something far more sinister.

As residents mysteriously vanish and disturbing symbols begin appearing in the building, she uncovers whispers of a long-standing demonic cult operating behind closed doors. The Virgil isn’t just a luxury residence — it’s a carefully designed death trap.

What follows is a single-night fight for survival, packed with ritualistic horror, escalating paranoia, and explosive confrontations as she becomes the cult’s next intended offering.

A Cast Built for Controlled Chaos

The trailer highlights a stacked ensemble that elevates the film far beyond a standard cult thriller:

• Zazie Beetz

• Myha’la

• Paterson Joseph

• Tom Felton

• Heather Graham

• Patricia Arquette

Early footage suggests performances that lean into eccentricity, menace, and pitch-black comedy — a balance that’s critical for a film operating at this tonal extreme.

From the Producers of Modern Horror Hits

Behind the scenes, They Will Kill You is backed by proven genre powerhouses.

The film is produced by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Dan Kagan — the team behind some of the most commercially successful modern horror releases. Their involvement signals a movie that’s both creatively daring and unapologetically theatrical.

The script is co-written by Sokolov and Alex Litvak, blending violent spectacle with satirical edge.

Style, Tone, and What Sets It Apart

What makes They Will Kill You stand out from typical cult horror is its tone.

The trailer leans hard into:

• Over-the-top kills

• Stylized action choreography

• Wickedly dark humor

• A fast, aggressive pace

This isn’t slow-burn prestige horror. It’s loud, bloody, and deliberately excessive — a film that embraces grindhouse energy while maintaining modern polish through cinematography by Isaac Bauman and a propulsive score by Carlos Rafael Rivera.

A Cult Movie in the Making?

Everything about the trailer suggests They Will Kill You is aiming squarely at midnight-movie status.

Between its stacked cast, hyper-violent action, and knowingly twisted sense of humor, the film feels designed to spark word-of-mouth among horror fans who want something fearless and unfiltered.

If the movie delivers on the promise of its trailer, it could easily become one of 2026’s most talked-about genre releases.
