They Will Kill You is out this weekend and we've been waiting for this bloody good time for a while. Though it's hyped as coming from Andy Muschietti, he's just an executive producer and though we do like him as a horror director, he isn't good when he's not, our evidence being The Flash movie. No, we have Kirill Sokolov directing this film about a satanic cult trying to kill Zazie Beetz trapped in a hotel. Now, we love Kirill Sokolov's earlier work, Why Don't You Just Die!, which wasn't exactly horror, but pretty close and was pretty violent in it's own right. Think an early Sam Raimi.
Now, what's funny is Ready or Not 2: Here I Come just came out last weekend and also deals with a Satanic cult at a hotel. They were supposed to come out at the same time, but someone must of saw that and was like, not let's not have a double soaked in blood satanic weekend. BTW, saw RoN2, it's totally worth seeing in theaters. So, you have plenty of ways to get entrails and viscera covering your eyeballs to end your week.
We were wondering if there was going to be anymore just comedy movies that just didn't care to be smart or clever and just want for the lowest common denominator and that seems to be Pizza Movie. Though we're pretty certain there's not gonna be any boobs in it, there gonna be a lot of body horror. It's out April 3rd on Hulu.
The 2026 Los Angeles Festival of Movies is back April 9th-12th and will be co-presented by Kino Film Collection (@KinoLorber) and @mezzaninefilm. This cozy film festival is on the smaller side, but we have our fair share of bigger and regional film festivals and sadly the LA Film Festival proper died under how massive it was...sadness. Be sure to check out the selection over the four days it's happening, some of which are already sold out.
Also, out April 10th and from Japan is ChaO, which took a whopping 7 years to make? It's a new take on a mermaid story and can't say it doesn't look eye-catching
