Russian Thriller Why Don't You Just Die Brings a Family Feud to Digital this April 20th

Tagline: "Meeting the Parents Doesn't Go Smoothly..."

Why Don't You Just Die is a film from Russia. Shot in the Russian language, this title is from director Kirill Sokolov ("Fire"), who also wrote the screenplay. Sokolov's first feature, Why Don't You Just Die is a film about Matvey (Aleksandr Kuznetsov) and his girlfriend's honour. Matvey goes to attack Andrey (Vitaliy Khaev), but is not expecting so much resistance. Now, it is Matvey whose life is in danger. This title is set for an April release date, in the United States and thriller fans can find a movie clip below.

Sokolov has spoken about this violent feature. Sokolov says of the violence and its realism: "the film’s inherent violence is the result of reflection on the realities of life in Russia, modern relationships, and societal attitudes." This director has taken a modern story and put it to screen. And, Sokolov's humour is dark for dark times: "the gallows humor which pervades the film is the only true reaction whatsoever to all of this." Gallow's humour is appropriate for a film that looks at familial conflict. Why Don't You Just Die will bring lots of tension and dark scenarios in just a few days.

Arrow Video will release Why Don't You Just Die this April 20th. The film will be available on most Digital platforms. Fans of thrillers or of foreign films can check out this award winning feature later this month!
