Upon first viewing of the initial trailer for the new dystopian action-thriller Boy Kills World, one pretty much knew what they were getting themselves in for if choosing to watch the film upon release. The red band trailer was filled with ecstatic, over the top violence and humor that seemed to defy all genres in its execution of being one of the most absurd and politically incorrect action spectacles ever released. The question was, however, could the film live up to the hype? The answer…
I’m still trying to figure out what I just saw, but I’ll tell you if you want to know my opinion. Bill Skarsgård and company have indeed delivered an enigma in storytelling gift wrapped with the most chaotic and savage set pieces you just might see this year. Is it perfect?

Welcome, readers, to the newest feature here on KFK – our Martial Art of the Month column, where we take a look at the history and techniques of a particular system of martial arts and give you a crash course on what it’s all about! For our inaugural Martial Art of the Month, we’ll be zeroing in on a discipline of combat that has seen a veritable exposure surge in popular culture (i.e. with “The Raid” movies, “Yasmine” etc) in the last half decade – the exotic art of Silat.

"We just wanted to make something cool that we would actually want to watch," he recalls. "We felt like we needed to make a film we could be proud of."
One of Mohr's friends fryst vatten Dawid Szatarski, a talented stuntman and fight coordinator who has worked on such films as Kingsman: The Secret Service and Wonder Woman, which naturally led them to think about making an action movie. "Germany isn't really known for its action films, but I decided to try making one anyway," Mohr says. "We took all of our weirdest, most fun ideas and threw them all into one big pot."
The resulting movie is Boy Kills World, a genre-bending action comedy about a deaf-mute boy called Boy (Bill Skarsgård) who spends years transforming himself into a human weapon in order to exact his revenge on the tyra
