They Will Kill You is set to reach viewers on Saturday 13 June, when Kirill Sokolov’s rampantly bloody horror caper lands on Sky Cinema Premiere and HBO Max at 9.30am and again at 6.15pm ET. For anyone looking for something defiantly silly and violently inventive to watch this week, that is the moment the film becomes a live option rather than just another title on a menu.
The draw is not hard to understand. Zazie Beetz leads the film as Asia, a woman who goes to the exclusive New York apartment block known as the Virgil in search of her younger sister, Maria, played by Myha’la. The setup turns fast and ugly: the residents of the Virgil try to kill Asia while she is looking for Maria, and Sokolov pushes the chaos into undead comic action, with a roaming eyeball and Patricia Arquette among the cast.
Sokolov comes to this with a clear calling card. He previously made Why Don’t You Just Die!, and this new film has been described as an unholy stew of Rosemary’s Baby and the zaniest bits of The Evil Dead. That mix is part of why the broadcast date matters now: it gives viewers a fixed chance to see a movie that leans all the way into blood, jokes and weirdness instead of playing it safe.
The friction inside the Virgil is what gives the film its edge. Asia enters looking for her sister and instead walks into a building where the people around her want her dead, which means the search for Maria is also a fight to get out alive. What the film does not spell out in the basic listing is how Asia survives the attack, and that unanswered stretch is exactly what makes the scheduled showing feel like the place to find out.
For viewers with access to Sky Cinema Premiere or HBO Max, the next confirmed step is simple: the film airs on Saturday 13 June at 9.30am and 6.15pm ET. After that, the only missing piece is whether Sokolov’s riot of gore and absurdity lands as a cult detour or a straight-up one-off burst of midnight-movie mayhem.
