"Realm of Satan captures members of the Church of Satan in droll tableaux, engaging in rituals or group sex, but often seen in mundane activities like beekeeping and hanging linens."
"They Will Kill You features a young woman and her estranged sister battling a cult of rich Devil worshippers who sacrifice new hires for conditional immortality, satirizing the horror genre."
"The film's baddies, like anti-aging beauty-company founder Sharon and generic rich guy Kevin, are portrayed as satirically textureless, reflecting a critique of societal fears surrounding Satanism."
They Will Kill You is a horror-comedy-action film that critiques the portrayal of Satanists in media. It contrasts the mundane lives of real Satanists with the exaggerated villainy of rich Devil worshippers. The film features a young woman and her estranged sister facing a cult that sacrifices new hires for conditional immortality. Directed by Kirill Sokolov, the film's characters lack depth, mirroring the satirical tone of its predecessor, Ready or Not 2. The narrative highlights the unfairness of blaming actual Satanists for societal issues linked to occult fears.
