They Will Kill You Fun Facts:

The "Horror Dream Team":
The movie is produced by the horror dream team of siblings Andy and Barbara Muschietti, who are known for their blockbuster hit with the IT franchise. This is the first film from Nocturna, their new production company which they created in partnership with Skydance that focus on horror films.

Genre Mashup:
Initial rumors and production updates as well as the new released trailer characterize the movie as having a style that blends elements from Ready or Not (2019) and the iconic action film The Raid (2011). It takes place in a crowded building in a confined environment where the lead character must fight enemies on multiple floors to get out.

Draco Malfoy Joins a Cult:
Tom Felton most famously known as Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter franchise plays a member of the mysterious satanic murderous cult. He is part of a great team of talented actors, including Zazie Beetz (Joker, Deadpool 2) as a housekeeper, Patricia Arquette (Severance, Boyhood) as the mysterious figurehead, Heather Graham (Boogie Nights, The Hangover), and Myha’la (Industry, Leave the World Behind) in supporting roles.

Director Kirill Sokolov’s English Debut:
They Will Kill You is written and directed by Kirill Sokolov who is well-known for his intensely violent and darkly comedic Russian hit, Why Don’t You Just Die! This is his first feature film in English, and fans can expect his signature style of full bloody mess mix with intense action sequences.

International Production:
Although the movie takes place in New York City in a mysterious and exclusive building called "The Virgil," it was actually filmed in Cape Town, South Africa. The filming ended in December 2024.

Prison-Trained Housekeeper:
The end of the trailer revealed Asia Reaves (Zazie Beetz) is no ordinary housekeeper; she has been hardened by prison life and learned to fight to survive. This is the dark humor of Sokolov’s style of action, where the cult clearly picked the wrong victim for their ritual sacrifice.
