  • The Belko Experiment is a gory social experiment. All about an office of 80 people having to undergo some tasks that will put their psychology and human nature to the test. Very intriguing film, easily a film that makes you think "what would I do in that situation?" and fortunately we are presented with characters with different ideologies and personalities. Totalitarianism contrasting with democracy so to speak (a purposeful political message perhaps?). The characters and acting were functional as to be expected, the real star is the sociology behind the experiment. The script was hit and miss, it tried to be serious yet include a comedic undertone that didn't always work. The gore was great, actually added to the immersion. Wasn't too keen on the ending, felt slightly rushed. Overall a decent watch with excellent social and psychological context.
