Eighty foreign workers have the worst day at the office ever in this giddy, gory thriller.
In the tradition of “Battle Royale” and “You’re Next,” “The Belko Experiment” offers the cheerfully mean-spirited spectacle of numerous trapped people killing each other lest they be killed. This elaborate employee elimination process in a Colombian corporate high-rise represents director Greg McLean’s best work since his debut feature “Wolf Creek,” as well as a long-aborning pet project for scenarist/producer James Gunn (“Guardians of the Galaxy”). It should delight bloodthirstier genre fans in various formats and markets, with Orion Releasing and BH Tilt partnering up to claim U.S. theatrical rights the day after pic’s Toronto midnight premiere. They plan to open on a thousand U.S. screens next March.
