They Will Kill You
A woman answers a help wanted ad to be a housekeeper in a mysterious high-rise in New York City, not realizing she is entering a community that has seen a number of disappearances over the years and may be under the grip of a Satanic cult.
Critics Sentiment
Masked residents attack Asia but discover she's highly skilled
Sisters confront each other about their past in kitchen
The film drops significantly from the burning axe rampage to the kitchen confrontation as pacing issues and weak character development bog down the momentum.
They Will Kill You starts strong with an engaging premise and impressive action reveals that hook audiences immediately. The film peaks early with Asia's combat skills surprise but gradually loses steam due to repetitive violence, pacing problems, and underdeveloped characters. While the outrageous finale splits audiences, most agree it's an entertaining but flawed genre mashup that starts at full throttle and ends on autopilot.
