The one where we review They Will Kill You

We’re kicking off with the gonzo, blood-soaked action-horror They Will Kill You. Zazie Beetz stars as Asia, an ex-convict who takes a job as a housekeeper in a swanky Manhattan apartment building called "The Virgil" to find her missing sister. Little does she know, the residents are part of a Satanic cult that stay immortal by sacrificing the help.Fun Flix Fact: Director Kirill Sokolov actually got the idea for the movie from his own life! When he moved into a new apartment, he discovered a hidden hallway behind a kitchen cabinet that led into his neighbour's flat—leading him and his wife to joke that they were living in the middle of a cult.Gore Galore: The film uses a massive amount of practical effects. That sentient, rolling eyeball you see scouting the corridors? It was a real physical prop, not CGI, designed to give the film a visceral, "old-school" horror feel. To celebrate 15 years of Zack Snyder’s most divisive spectacle, we’re revisiting Sucker Punch. It’s the film Snyder famously described as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns," and we’re breaking down whether its "layers of reality" still hold up in 2026.Fun Flix Fact: This film has a massive Aussie connection! Both Emily Browning (Babydoll) and Abbie Cornish (Sweet Pea) are Australians, bringing some local powerhouse talent to Snyder’s stylized world.What Could Have Been: Amanda Seyfried was originally cast as the lead, Babydoll. She had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts with her show Big Love, leading Emily Browning to step in and make the role her own.Hidden Talents: Extensive musical and dance numbers were actually filmed for the movie but were largely cut from the theatrical release. If you’ve only seen the cinema version, you’re missing out on some seriously impressive choreography!And if that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!
