Horror fans are already buzzing about what’s being called the most gruesome movie of 2026. The trailer suggests it has all the ingredients to become a beloved cult classic. It’s a familiar pattern: each year, horror films aim for big scares and over-the-top gore. But recently, many of the bloodiest movies also lean into dark comedy, letting the audience find humor amidst the chaos. A prime example is Ready or Not, which delivered plenty of intense and gory moments while still being a funny, action-packed horror film. While a sequel to Ready or Not is coming out in 2026, another movie appears poised to surpass it in sheer gore.
The trailer for the upcoming horror film They Will Kill You is here, and it already looks like the most gruesome movie of 2026. If anything tops this trailer, 2026 will be a seriously bloody year for horror fans. You can watch the They Will Kill You trailer below.
The new horror comedy, They Will Kill You, is directed by Kirill Sokolov and produced by Andy Muschietti, who also directed It.
What to Expect from They Will Kill You in 2026
Kirill Sokolov, known for his Russian films like Why Don’t You Just Die! and No Looking Back, makes his first American film with this exciting release. The movie stars Zazie Beetz (from Deadpool 2 and The Joker) as a woman who takes a job as a housekeeper in a New York City apartment building. She soon discovers the building is home to a dangerous Satanic cult, and they plan to sacrifice her. But she’s determined to fight back.
The trailer for They Will Kill You feels reminiscent of films like Ready or Not and You’re Next, where the person being hunted quickly turns the tables on their attackers. However, it also hints at a bit of an exploitation film feel, largely due to the music and the amount of violence shown. Jena Beetz’s character is clearly skilled in combat – the trailer shows her mentioning she learned to fight in prison – and she’s more than capable of using weapons to take down the constant stream of people trying to kill her.
The cast of this movie is surprisingly strong, featuring recognizable names like Tom Felton (known for his role as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter) and Heather Graham, with Patricia Arquette playing the cult leader. But the real draw is the over-the-top violence – think axes splitting skulls and attacks with bats engulfed in flames. Fans of Sam Raimi’s famously gory horror style will likely see this as a natural step forward in that tradition.
They Will Kill You hits theaters on March 26, 2026.
