The first major cinematic adrenaline shot of 2026 has arrived. Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema have officially released the trailer for They Will Kill You, a blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy that promises to be the year’s most unapologetic “gore-fest.” Directed by Kirill Sokolov—the visionary behind the cult hit Why Don’t You Just Die! —the film is produced by the powerhouse duo Andy and Barbara Muschietti (IT), ensuring a masterclass in atmospheric dread and visceral thrills.
The plot follows a young woman named Colette (Zazie Beetz), who thinks she’s hit the jackpot when she lands a high-paying housekeeping job in a prestigious, gated New York City high-rise known as “The Virgil.” However, the luxury facade quickly crumbles as she discovers the building is actually a fortress for a demonic satanic cult. Trapped within the skyscraper, Colette must fight her way through a gauntlet of twisted residents who intend to make her their next ritual offering. The trailer teases a frantic, The Raid-meets-Ready or Not survival story, where household appliances and sheer will become weapons of mass destruction.
Leading the ensemble alongside Beetz is a stellar cast including Tom Felton, Patricia Arquette, Heather Graham, and Myha’la. With its sharp, dark humor and inventive “splatter” sequences, They Will Kill You is positioning itself as a cult classic in the making. Horror fans won’t have to wait long to check into The Virgil, as the film is slated for a wide theatrical release on March 27, 2026.
