Writer-director Kirill Sokolov is making his feature debut with Why Don’t You Just Die!, a blood-soaked black comedy that is a rousing tale of family, modern relationships and the dark places they can take you to when things turn sour.

But all is not as it initially seems, and Matvey’s attempts to bludgeon the family patriarch to death don’t quite go to plan as Andrey proves a more formidable – not to mention ruthless – opponent than he anticipated… and Matvey, for his part, proves stubbornly unwilling to die.” Ahead of the release, Sokolov shared, “Despite our exaggerated use of genre tropes and all the flashy effects, Why Don’t You Just Die! remains, for me, an incredibly personal and sincere story. The film’s inherent violence is the result
