Review of The Belko Experiment (2017) by Dan L — 23 Aug 2017

Your first day at work is always supposed to be strenuous but having to murder your colleagues in a battle royal style game, was more than Dany Wilkins bargained for. Set in a secluded cooperate office in Bogota, Colombia, 80 Americans are about to start their day, unaware that they are about to play a sadistic game that can only have one winner. The company has placed tracking devices in each employeeâ(TM)s skull due to the high risk of kidnapping fears. Whilst colleagues are trying to avoid being killed by some of their psychotic workmates, they are trying to avoid the ticking time bombs in their heads that can explode any minutes.

There is something quite delightfully barbaric about switching from a peaceful Mamas & Papas song to the execution-style murders of innocent people. Belko is basically Battle Royal but instead of Japanese teenagers on an island with exploding neck devices attached, it is American officer colleagues with bomb chips in their skulls. However, unlike Battle royal, it lacks the pointless amount of gore and other elements that made it a cult classic. The Belko Experiment is worthy of a sit through but can become easily forgettable.
