The new Boy Kills World Red bad trailer turns up the violence and gore to elevendy.

Enter a violent dystopian world run by powerful crime organizations. A deaf and mute man (played by Bill Skarsgård and H. Jon Benjamin) is out to avenge the death of his loved ones at the hands of the deranged head of one of those crime families. His journey to revenge is filled with fights… fist fights, gun fights, sword fights, knife fights, meat hook fights. Fights in hallways, fights in warehouses, fights on the set of a winter holiday special.

Check out the new red band trailer

Boy Kills World has action, hyper-violence, gore, a sense of humor, and a great cast. It has a very manga/anime feel to it, with an extra helping of homicidal glee. Let’s hope it can stand out from all of the revenge thrillers we’ve gotten in the last decade.

Boy Kills World Cast & Details

The cast is led by Bill Skarsgård as Boy. Also included are Famke Janssen as Hilda van der Koy, Brett Gelman as Gideon van der Koy, Sharlto Copley as Glen van der Koy, Michelle Dockery as Melanie van der Koy, Jessica Rothe as June 27, Isaiah Mustafa as Benny, Andrew Koji as Basho, Quinn Copeland as Mina, and Yayan Ruhian as a shaman.

This is Moritz Mohr’s directorial debut from a screenplay by Arend Remmers (Snowflake) and Tyler Burton Smith (Alan Wake 2). It’s produced by Sam Raimi.

Boy vows 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, deaf and voiceless. Driven by his inner voice, one which he co-opted from his favorite childhood video game, 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 blood-letting. 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.

Boy Kills World hits theaters on April 26th.
