"They Will Kill You boasts a garish and gory onslaught of secondhand images during its fight scenes, tapping into an evocative setting that has made for effective genre storytelling in the past."
"Drenched in the detailed yet indecipherable logic of a nightmare, Dario Argento's 1980 head trip engulfs those who view it in its hallucinogenic flames."
"The lead, Mark, willingly ventures into rent-controlled hell in search of his missing sister, discovering a den of neo-Gothic depravity and Death incarnate."
"They Will Kill You brings the 'everyone is 12' theory of modern life to cinema, appealing to the middle-schooler part of the brain."
They Will Kill You features a chaotic blend of action, horror, and comedy set in a sinister New York City building filled with bizarre characters. The film offers a unique experience, contrasting with Dario Argento's 1980 film, which immerses viewers in a nightmarish atmosphere. Both films explore themes of darkness and depravity, with They Will Kill You appealing to a youthful sensibility while Argento's work delves into neo-Gothic horror. The lead character in both films embarks on a quest within these ominous structures, facing unexpected horrors and challenges.
