The best way to describe “They Will Kill You” is as a live-action anime. People cleave bodies in two with superhuman strength while characters stumble about with propulsive verve; various sound effects accompany each of their telegraphed movements. Even the rain in director Kirill Sokolov’s film falls differently, with the mythological cascade of droplets casting a fog, akin to a cyberpunk opera.
Focusing on a woman who infiltrates a Satanic cult to save her sister, Sokolov delivers one of the most bonkers and madcap action films to ever come from the studio system. Gleefully violent and propelled by its own sense of whimsy, it’s a raucous joyride like no other.
