The Belko Experiment - Just another day at the office!?

This is a horror thriller featuring a respectable cast. The BELKO Experiment is an interesting film about the human nature, and how characters (you think you might know) can change when their lives are threatened or put into jeopardy. BELKO is a hi-tech company with offices all over the world, the film starts as 'just another day at the office' but quickly progresses to a kill or be killed randomly thriller.

Steel shields snap down over all the office glass windows and the staff are instructed by a mysterious voice over the tannoy to kill 30 colleagues in the next two hours or 60 will die randomly, the voice explains the rules which the staff must adhere to in order to survive.

So the game is simple, kill your colleagues and which-ever single individual is left at the end of the day is free to leave!

The ensuing violence is relentless and very brutal.

Initially the story building is very inventive but when the violence starts feels more like a low budget film! Not intentionally funny enough to be a comedy but not clever enough to be a social study either.

However, this film is about office politics taken to an extreme and makes you wonder what you would do in their circumstances.

5/10.
