I haven't been here at AW very long and I'm trying to get my post count up (selectively of course) so I can put something on SYW, but I'm also looking for a beta reader(s) for a book I'm currently querying with agents.

It's an 80k word thriller (or maybe a horror...something I need some advice on), about a man whose dead brother comes back and uses the MC to kill the men who killed him.

I'm not worried about a line by line edit so much as just general / plot advice etc (though if someone wants to line by line that's okay with me). And if there are any glaring errors I'd obviously like those pointed out.

Would anyone be interested?

Best place on Earth.
I like the genre/idea, but hesitate since you don't have anything on SYW, so I don't know your style and hate to commit to a whole book beta. Questions: Would you be willing to swap? Would you send the opening chapter for a trial-run?

Sure, I'm happy to just send the first chapter for now and see if you feel it's something you can beta. I'd also be okay with swapping.
