ReviewThey Will Kill You movie review: Zazie Beetz leads a delicious slice of midnight madness
They Will Kill You delivers dark comic madness, with Zazie Beetz taking a magnetic turn as an ex-con battling satanic elites in New York
3.5/5 stars
Without a doubt, They Will Kill You is bloodier and funnier, easily leaving its rival in the dust.
Zazie Beetz stars as Asia Reaves, an ex-con with a bleak past. After shooting her abusive father dead and fleeing the scene – leaving her younger sibling, Maria, behind – she is eventually caught and imprisoned.
Ten years later, she goes in search of Maria – a journey that takes her to The Virgil, an exclusive Manhattan luxury residence. Posing as a new housemaid, Asia infiltrates the building to find her sister.
Shown around by the head of the co-op, Lily (Patricia Arquette), Asia soon discovers The Virgil is a temple of satanic worship, a multi-floored, vice-filled world for residents who have traded their souls for immortality.
