Boy Kills World (2023)
Boy Kills World stars Teen Choice nominee Bill Skarsgård (the IT films, John Wick: Chapter 4, Nosferatu) as "Boy", who vows revenge after his family is murdered by the deranged matriarch of a post-apocalyptic dynasty, leaving him orphaned, deaf and voiceless.
Driven by his inner voice (co-opted from his favourite childhood video game), Boy trains to become an instrument of death and is set loose on the eve of the annual culling of dissidents, falling in with a desperate resistance group as a bloody bedlam ensues.
The Daily Beast calls it, “Uniquely deranged,” RogerEbert.com “an action orgy,” and Daily Maverick, “a manic fever dream of over-the-top violence and humour… breathlessly brutal, utterly deranged and so much damned fun.”
Filmed in Cape Town, Boy Kills World was produced by the legendary Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-Man) and South African company Nthibah Pictures. The stacked cast includes Critics Choice Super Award nominee Andrew Koji (Bullet Train, Gangs of London, Warrior), Teen Choice nominee Famke Janssen (Phoenix in the X-Men movies), Emmy nominee Michelle Dockery (The Gentlemen, Downton Abbey), and a host of South African stars, including Sharlto Copley.
