The Belko Experiment… What Even Was This Movie

Oh boy this one is a doozy of a film, by that I mean it was awful, I had heard of this film for quite some time as it kept popping up on my recommended list on YouTube clips, trailers and sneak peeks, I went in blind and came out feeling sick to my stomach after watching this, it really is a mess of a film.

The Belko Experiment follows eighty people in a Colombian office block, for reasons unknown they send only the Colombian employees away only keeping the American employees, said employees have a chip in their head said to be a tracker, ah but a tracker it is not no it is in fact a tiny ball bearing explosive (yeah you can see where this is going) so all out war ensues, and our American office workers are forced to kill each other.

Now I for one hated this film, I mean it was a huge pile of dog faeces the plot was terrible as were the decisions made by the characters in the movie…. now I’m going to throw in a disclaimer for people who are easily offended (you have been warned) I can only compare it to the selection process made by Nazi troops in Auschwitz, that decision was basically people who have kids under the age of eighteen to the left and people who are fifty or over to the right, we then get a lovely Latin American rendition of the classic Mamas and The Papas song California Dreaming, the people who are fifty and over are then shot in the head.

Trust me the soundtrack gets even better as one final massacre occurs all while Tchaikovsky’s Concerto No.1 In B Minor plays… oh did I mention right at the start of the film we get a Latin American version of Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive, yeah the soundtrack guy really needs to have his head checked.

All in all The Belko Experiment is a right bloody mess of a film it’s horrible and made me feel really uncomfortable watching certain scenes, particularly when one of the employees pulls out his wallet and shows us a picture of his children only to have them tossed on the floor and for the guy to be shot in the back of the head. So do yourself a favour and give The Belko Experiment a miss and if someone ever offers you an opportunity to work in an office in Colombia think twice and say “hell no nah ah nope no way Jose” trust me give this film a miss, final rating 0/0 until next time guys catch ya later!
