Everyone’s probably had that moment when they wished harm upon their co-workers (probably when some bonehead decides to schedule a meeting at 4:30 on a Friday), but it’s always a passing sensation. However, in “The Belko Experiment,” a regular business day turns bloody when the employees of an American company in South America are ordered to kill their colleagues or face execution themselves.

Screenwriter James Gunn (“Super,” “Guardians Of The Galaxy“) and director Greg McLean (“Wolf Creek“) conjure up this “Battle Royale“-esque tale, which brings together John Gallagher Jr., Tony Goldwyn, Adria Arjona, John C. McGinley, Melonie Diaz, Sean Gunn, Josh Brener, David Dastmalchian, and Michael Rooker for a violent showdown where only very few will survive. Here’s the synopsis:
The Belko Experiment explores a twisted social experiment, in which a group of 80 Americans are locked in their high-rise corporate office in Bogata and ordered by an unknown voice on an intercom system to participate in a deadly game of kill or be killed.
“The Belko Experiment” opens on March 17th.
