TGIF: The Belko Experiment Releases New Trailer and Song

Published

on

The Belko Experiment has just released a new trailer and exclusive song from the film’s soundtrack. Seems like a good way to wrap up your work week.

The Belko Experiment is like a wild combination of Battle Royale and Office Space, as written by James Gunn (Slither, Guardians of the Galaxy).

The massive cast includes John Gallagher Jr. (Hush, 10 Cloverfield Lane), John C. McGinley (Office Space), Tony Goldwyn (Ghost), Michael Rooker (Slither), Josh Brenner (Silicon Valley), Sean Gunn (Super), Adria Arjona (Person of Interest), and Melonie Diaz (Fruitvale Station). Director Greg McLean (Wolf Creek) amps up the brutal and oddly comedic energy to make the film truly fun.

If you haven’t heard (read?) the premise, 80 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.

We all know that the office environment can be kind of a bummer. But you know what’s worse? When you’re suddenly pitted against your fellow coworkers in a bloody battle for survival. Talk about a case of the Mondays (I’m sorry, I hate myself already).

For all its blood, tension and terror, The Belko Experiment really is just a lot of fun. I was able to see it at TIFF this year, and I remember alternating between edge-of-my-seat rapt attention and gleeful fits of giggling. It’s a high-octane thriller that doesn’t waste any second of action.

The film is, at times, genuinely shocking. If you’re familiar with Greg McLean’s other films (the Wolf Creek series specifically), you’ll know that the man knows how to work with violence. And it’s definitely violent, with a diabolical premise that drives the suspenseful game of survival of the fittest.

I genuinely cannot wait to see it again. The Belko Experiment hits theatres Friday, March 17, so get ready to put down those expense reports for a wonderfully insane way to start off the weekend.

With the release of a new trailer (#3 here, people), they’re really keeping on top of the updates. Earlier today, of one of the songs from the soundtrack (a Spanish language cover of California Dreamin’ by the Mamas and the Papas, sung by Gabriela Terán), was made available for purchase through Amazon.

It’s not dramatically different from trailer #2, but we do get a few additional scenes with new tidbits of information. Hopefully the trailers will make you as excited for the March release as I am.

You can check out the brand new trailer below.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
