‘Boy Kills World’ Director on Making Sure the Hyperviolent Revenge Epic Wasn’t ‘Overly Sadistic’ and How Sam Raimi Helped Him Avoid Censorship


'Boy Kills World' director Moritz Mohr talks about the wild action epic and how the title nods to the sitcom 'Boy Meets World.'

German director Moritz Mohr ‘s feature debut is the colorful and bloody revenge tale “ Boy Kills World,” which opens Friday in theaters. Bill Skarsgård plays the titular character, a mute fighter hellbent on revenge, complete with a dry inner monologue voiced by H. Jon Benjamin. As he aims to topple a dynastic crime family, led by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen), that rules society and kills his family, scores of enemies are destructively dispatched, sure to leave audiences surprised that the increasingly creative and gory violence made it past the MPAA.
