Think of the last day you spent at work. You know, the day spent in a cubicle jungle, listening to the co-worker behind you chomping on chips too loud. The worthless HR lady who re-directs her job 100% of the time. Or how about that under-qualified, empty suit boss you have that shows he has no business managing anything other than the fry machine at your local Burger King. That feeling creeps up on you, you know the one, where you just want to up and go devil on everyone. Well, now just imagine if you didn't have a choice and were made to do just that! Pretty cool little underrated flick called "The Belko Experiment" which takes the concept of Battle Royale to a level of corporate atmosphere. Basically an overseas company employing many Americans lock the office down and announce over the loud speaker that if they don't kill someone, a group will be killed. And so on, and so on, and so on. The gore was fun, a little un-creative and pretty predictable but exciting and entertaining. Some fun killings include death by office supplies, ax to the head, elevator, and much more! Give this one a shot on a Thursday night after your worst day at work, trust me :)
FYI: Actually based on a real life experiment in 1963 regarding the effects of authority.

I really enjoyed this one. Simple plot and fairly predictable, but over the top violence made it super fun. The wife even liked it ( she actually thought the preview looked cool and wanted to see it).
