Warner Bros. Pictures’ genre-bending horror-action-comedy They Will Kill You is set to make its global streaming debut on Max on Friday, June 12, bringing a chaotic blend of dark humour, cult horror, and high-stakes survival to audiences worldwide.
Starring an ensemble cast including Zazie Beetz, Myha’la, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette, the film promises a wild ride through a nightmarish death trap where survival is anything but guaranteed.
A Twisted Survival Story Inside a Cult Death Trap
At the centre of They Will Kill You is a young woman who finds herself trapped inside The Virgil, a mysterious building controlled by a demonic cult. What begins as an unsettling situation quickly escalates into a brutal night of survival, as she realises she must escape before becoming the cult’s next sacrifice.
Described as a “blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy,” the film fuses visceral action sequences with pitch-black humour, leaning into stylised violence and genre satire.
The result is a relentless, fast-paced experience that blends horror tension with comedic chaos—positioning the film alongside modern cult horror hybrids that push genre boundaries.
Star-Studded Cast Brings Chaos to Life
The film boasts a strong ensemble cast led by some of today’s most recognisable screen talent:
- Zazie Beetz (Atlanta, Joker)
- Myha’la (Industry)
- Paterson Joseph (Vigil)
- Tom Felton (Harry Potter)
- Heather Graham (Boogie Nights)
- Patricia Arquette (Severance, Boyhood)
Each performer adds weight to the film’s unpredictable tone, balancing horror intensity with moments of dark comedy and absurdity.

Directed by Kirill Sokolov, the film is co-written by Sokolov and Alex Litvak, marking another bold entry in the director’s visually stylised, genre-defying filmography.
Production comes from heavyweight horror talent, with Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti—known for It and It Chapter Two—joining Dan Kagan as producers.
