What’s it about?

A building themed on Dante’s inferno gets a new housekeeper.

What did we think?

Pete Linning says: TWKY is a lean, mean, splatter machine – no time is wasted in setting up our heroine Asia (Zazie Beetz) as the newest maid at The Virgil, a retro-sinister hotel that CLEARLY has some weird shit going on. It takes all of about ten minutes for the insanity to kick off, revealing that Asia is an insanely tough, ass-kicking, machete-wielding action hero – the only problem is that we’re not in action movie. While the movie can’t quite maintain the breakneck pace of the first act, it’s paced pretty well, and it’s definitely never boring. There’s some fantastic action setpieces, out of nowhere Zazie has proved that she has the action chops to do this kind of thing full time if she wants to. It’s also incredibly funny (there’s an eyeball gag that is probably Sam Raimi’s favourite thing), and most importantly it’s heaps of fun.

If you want a quick hit of blood-soaked action and laughs, you could do a lot worse than TWKY
