New Clip From Boy Kills World

If you see one revenge-based action thriller starring Bill Skarsgård this year, make sure it’s Boy Kills World. Sorry, The Crow. You didn’t need a remake, and after so many years in development hell, the trailer that arrived felt nothing like the original movie or the beloved source material it’s based on.

To celebrate the imminent release of Boy Kills World, a new clip has been released to further whet our appetite for what looks like one of the action events of the year.

Boy Kills World smashes into cinemas on April 26, check out the clip below.

Get ready for the most gleefully supercharged action film you’ll see all year. 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.
