There was so much hype tied to Scary Movie 6's debut on the 2026 movie schedule. With past icons reprising their roles and questionable popcorn buckets hitting the web, it was all too easy to miss that it wasn't the only horror comedy to come out this year. As critics nitpicked the commercial hit, I think it's time to direct all those disappointed back to They Will Kill You.
Zazie Beetz's horror comedy didn't get as much hype from general audiences as Scary Movie, but it absolutely should. That's why I'm directing all readers to watch it with their HBO Max subscription or elsewhere, especially if they walked away disappointed with Scary Movie 6.
