The Belko Experiment (2016)

[Rated R]

In a twisted social experiment, eighty Americans are locked in their high-rise corporate office in Bogotá, Colombia, and ordered by an unknown voice coming from the company's intercom system to participate in a deadly game of kill or be killed --IMDB

Gore - 5

With there being 84 kills and this is R rated, there is loads of bloodshed. No really creative kills, but bloody kills, nonetheless.

Scariness - 1

Not really scary, but there are quite a few intense moments.

Creepiness - 1

Not creepy.

Plot - 4

I really enjoy movies with people locked in a confined space at the mercy of some omnipotent presence. Don't worry, this movie is not supernatural though. It is more of a survival of the fittest. It was very entertaining to watch and root for certain characters and see who would stay "good" or turn "bad". I would have liked more of an explanation, but the ending leads me to believe they wanted to leave the possibility of a sequel open. Overall, this was a good watch.

Effects - 5

The visuals were pretty good. I thought the song selection was good too -- near the beginning "I Will Survive" was playing, but in Spanish.

Streaming on HBO (HBO GO/NOW)
