Kirill Sokolov directed They Will Kill You, co-writing the script with Alex Litvak (known for Predators). The villains are somewhat one-dimensional, like those in Ready or Not 2, with characters like Sharon (Heather Graham), the founder of an anti-aging company, and Kevin (Tom Felton), a typical arrogant rich man. They live in the Virgil, a Manhattan high-rise reminiscent of Rosemary’s Baby. The residents have achieved a kind of immortality by offering up new employees as yearly sacrifices. This ability to resurrect themselves makes the initial action sequences exciting, but eventually becomes repetitive. When Asia Reaves (Zazie Beetz) begins fighting back against the masked tenants who want to sacrifice her, she discovers they can regenerate lost limbs and body parts. While the film has a Tarantino-inspired, over-the-top style with elaborate sword and axe fights, it also uses the regeneration ability in more gruesome ways – like a detached eyeball chasing Asia through tunnels.
