An ordinary day at the office for Mike Milch quickly turns into something completely different when new security guards show up at the doors at the remote office building. A new employee is informed that every employee has a chip implanted in their skull, in case of kidnapping (due to the security risks of their jobs and the high crime rate in the country). But the new security guards and Dany, the new employee, are far from the only changes around the office. Suddenly, after the last employee arrives for the day, a message is played through the office, instructing them to kill two of their co-workers, otherwise more will be killed at random. The building has been completely shut down, made impossible to escape. First believed to be some kind of sick joke, the employees don’t take the threat too seriously, but soon enough they notice the senders of the message are in fact very serious.
As a horror movie, the film was more unsettling than scary, and found place for some quite grotesque camera work, fine acting and interesting psychological scenes as the 80 employees all struggle to stay alive. An interesting study in the human psyche, but not a great movie, I wouldn’t exactly recommend this film. However, the appearance of Michael Rooker was a pleasant surprise.
