Back in February, we learned that Kirill Sokolov’s Why Don’t You Just Die! would be coming to select U.S. theaters in early April, but in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic that has closed theaters across the U.S., that simply isn’t going to happen. Instead, Arrow Video has announced that Why Don’t You Just Die!, a blood-soaked black comedy in the vein of Quentin Tarantino and Edgar Wright will be available nationwide on Digital HD April 20th.
Why Don’t You Just Die! is a rousing tale of family, modern relationships and the dark places they can take you to when things turn sour. In it Matvey (Aleksandr Kuznetsov) has just one objective: to gain entry to his girlfriend’s parents’ apartment and kill her father Andrey (Vitaliy Khaev) with a hammer to restore her honor. 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.
Why Don’t You Just Die! will be available nationwide on Digital HD via iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, and Google Play.
