Moritz Mohr directs Boy Kills World, which stars Bill Skarsgård as a “boy” who vows revenge for his family’s murder. Famke Janssen plays 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, which he co-opted from his favorite childhood video game, boy trains with a mysterious shaman, played by Yayan Ruhian. He wants to become an instrument of death and set himself loose on the eve of the annual culling of dissidents.
Bedlam ensues as boy commits bloody martial arts mayhem, inciting the 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.
Other cast members are Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Sharlto Copley, Brett Gelman, Isaiah Mustafa, and Andrew Koji.
