Special Report: They Will Kill You (2026)

About this episode

Mike discusses the making of the action-comedy horror film They Will Kill You with sound professionals Duncan McRae and Jeffrey A. Pitts.

Mike talks with re-recording mixer Duncan McRae and sound designer/supervising sound editor Jeffrey A. Pitts about their work on They Will Kill You (2026), the action-comedy horror film directed by Russian filmmaker Kirill Sokolov. Co-written by Sokolov and Alex Litvak, the film stars Zazie Beetz as an ex-convict who answers an ad for a housekeeping job at a mysterious New York City high-rise, only to discover the building has a long history of disappearances. Sokolov stages brutal combat sequences in wide angles with largely unbroken takes before introducing a supernatural element that raises the stakes further.
