WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

At an office building in Columbia, 80 white-collar American workers are suddenly locked inside with no apparent way to contact the outside world. They are then ordered by a mysterious voice coming from the company’s intercom system to participate in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with each other, in a social experiment that becomes more and more twisted at every turn…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

From the twisted mind of Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker James Gunn, who produced and also provided the screenplay, comes this dark satirical horror film about the very worst in people coming to the surface in the face of fear.
