"Both are one-night-in-hell slashers about two estranged sisters forced to fight their way out of a lair of rich people who've joined a devil cult and are hellbent on sacrificing them to their dark lord. They even debut one week after another, the latter on March 20, the former on March 27."
"The evil rich people in They Will Kill You, which is being released by Warner Bros., are (SPOILER) immortal. They've signed a pact in blood that lets them live forever in a luxury New York City highrise called The Virgil, as long as they sacrifice an innocent as payment for their own forever-life."
"During that extended crawl space scene, the eyeball of Graham's rich-lady character gets separated from her body, squiggling around ventilation shafts, slingshotting itself up to different stories, and reporting back to the others about Asia's whereabouts."
They Will Kill You is a horror slasher featuring Zazie Beetz and Myha'la as estranged Black sisters lured into a luxury New York City highrise called The Virgil under false pretenses as maids. They discover the building's wealthy residents have formed a devil cult and achieved immortality through blood pacts requiring innocent sacrifices. Asia, Beetz's character trained in combat from prison, must fight through the building using samurai warfare and navigating crawl spaces to rescue her younger sister Marie, whom she abandoned years earlier. The film includes a memorable sequence featuring Heather Graham's disembodied eyeball moving through ventilation shafts to track the sisters' movements. Directed by Russian filmmaker Kiril Sokolov and released by Warner Bros., the film debuts March 27, one week after the similar-premise sequel Ready or Not 2.
