Boy Kills World transports us to a violent world of survivalism. It’s like The Hunger Games – only if no one was holding back. In this film, the deaf-mute boy is an avenger who kills his enemies in brutal ways; but still inside remains his innocence as a hurt wild kid trapped inside a man’s body.
He grew up with a martial arts teacher called the Shaman on a remote mountain, where a heartless totalitarian government stole everything from him. During the annual Culling — when state-sanctioned killings keep society in line — Boy watched his little sister Mina being executed before his eyes. Now he wants revenge.
Moritz Mohr directs Boy Kills World which draws its influences from video games, graphic novels, and films such as The Hunger Games franchise or even The Purge series. However, what makes this movie unique is that it pushes violence to another level entirely.
Slashing, gouging, and decapitating; are just some examples of how intensely ferocious boys can be when they get near someone with bad intentions towards them or those close by whom they love dearly most especially friends or family members alike.
His punches without gloves are fast, like lightning, while hitting hard enough to feel like thunderbolt strikes. They might cause severe damage, including bruising and broken bones in the chest area. An ache would manifest itself immediately after receiving such a blow.
Additionally, he machine guns with surgical precision, ensuring that every bullet finds its target sooner or later, mercilessly killing each enemy until none are left alive. This isn’t action; it’s toxic cartoon fascism where evil has got to be taken down at all costs.
The film’s bold violence reminds one of a time in cinema when they were not afraid to be daring. One could compare it to Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, a dystopian story that features a sociopath as its protagonist. However, for Boy Kills World, this cheeky sadism becomes nothing short of sheer fun – the next level extreme in popular entertainment. It is like going on a rollercoaster through hell that leaves you gasping and asking yourself what you’re willing to endure.
Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions have purchased theatrical rights to the movie, an adrenaline-fueled thriller where Bill Skarsgård stars as ‘boy’. The premiere took place at the Toronto International Film Festival, leaving viewers thrilled but also disturbed by what they had seen so far; Production was done in South Africa.
