They Will Kill You
Details
Within Manhattan's vertical labyrinth, the skyscrapers rising from glass and steel always hide something. Only when one enters does it become apparent that some houses hold secrets while others harbor much darker things. Directed by Kırılı Sokolov, this film begins with precisely this question and keeps you hooked throughout. A cleaning lady receives a job offer at a prestigious skyscraper in a city where finding work is so difficult. This seemingly ordinary opportunity, perhaps even a blessing, is marred by certain details. The strange silence in the building, the neighbors' glances, the unsolved mysteries that have persisted over the years... Instead of suddenly escalating the tension, Sokolov builds it up in layers; he slowly, almost imperceptibly, pulls the viewer out of their comfort zone. The sibling relationship between Zazie Beetz and Myha is both the emotional anchor and the most fragile point of the film. The complex family dynamic that the two female actors bring to the screen saves the struggle for survival from turning into an abstract action sequence; it makes every danger feel personal and burning. Patricia Arquette and Paterson Joseph, on the other hand, represent the more sinister layers of this world; in each scene they remind that something is not being said, something is being hidden. The film blends horror, comedy, and action with an unusual level of confidence. Such crossbreeding often yields a disorganized result; however, here each element nourishes the other. Black humor offers momentary relief, only to be followed by a scene of violence that hits much harder. The satanic cult theme, however, stays away from clichés; what is truly terrifying is not the ritual itself, but the ordinary human choices that make it possible. Set high up in Manhattan, this survival story also casts a sideways glance at the alienating nature of modern city life. It reminds us how dangerous a world can be where no one knows anyone else and no one wonders what's behind elevator doors. They Will Kill You is a bold and distinctive production that both chills your heart and occasionally leaves a wicked smile on your face.

This was completely bonkers, in both the best and worst ways. Imagine a wild mash-up of Ready or Not, Kill Bill, and Looney Tunes, with flashes of countless other films thrown into the mix. It’s chaotic, and doesn’t always land, but it’s never dull. The trailer does a great job of hiding a key element that I genuinely didn’t see coming. That surprise is also where the “mixed results” come in. I won’t spoil it, but while it adds a layer of dark comedy to the blood-soaked mayhem, it also hinder...

This is another one of those films where the best bits are definitely in the trailers. We are quickly briefed that siblings “Asia” (Zazie Beetz) and “Maria” (Myha’la) are being abused by their father, but when the former adopts a more permanent solution to their problem, she is incarcerated and many years pass during which the sisters lose contact. Upon her release, “Asia” gets herself a job working as a cleaner in a grand looking New York skyscraper, but little does she appreciate just what ser...

What his lacks in story it makes up for in visual flair and spectacle. The casting is solid, the action rightfully over the top and the direction very solid. The relationship between the two main protagonists is a bit convoluted, and hard to relate to, but the movie gets on well without their bond being that well worked out. The ending is fittingly bonkers. It is fun, if not the most substantial movie you will see.

I'm not sure what exactly it is I just watched. I AM sure that if I had ingested some adult substances, it would have made more sense and I probably would have enjoyed it more.
