A new clip has been released for Boy Kills World, the theatrical feature set for cinemas this Friday through Signature Entertainment. We reviewed the film earlier this week (very positively, we might add), and we urge you to go see this when it lands this Friday.
Bill Skarsgård stars as Boy, a deaf-mute with a vivid imagination, driven by his inner voice, one which he co-opted from his favourite childhood video game. He avows revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy, the deranged matriarch of a corrupt post-apocalyptic dynasty that left the boy orphaned, deafened, and voiceless. Boy trains with a mysterious shaman to become an instrument of death and is set loose on the eve of the annual culling of dissidents. Bedlam ensues as Boy commits bloody martial arts mayhem, inciting a wrath of carnage and bloodletting. As he tries to get his bearings in this delirious realm, Boy soon falls in with a desperate resistance group, all the while bickering with the apparent ghost of his rebellious little sister.
Brutal fights, whip-sharp humour and a bloodied Skarsgård are just three of the many components that make Moritz Mohr’s Boy Kills World utterly irresistible.
